Description Jan-Simon Moeller 2017-12-19 11:38:43 UTC 
Use-case:
- add e.g. PREMIRROR , SSTATE_MIRROR  which are usually multi-line variables.
- it is simpler to inject more than one variable

Hi David!
We talked about these in Prague.

As I said, main case is to e.g. dump your site.conf into the toaster bitbake vars.

-> I don't want to do this var by var and value by value.  ;)

Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99
