Description Randy Witt 2016-04-21 16:21:21 UTC 
We need to add a way to build "container images" using oe-core. A "container image" in its simplest form can be defined as an image that doesn't contain a kernel and is a tarball.

This will allow for the image to be used via chroot or more sophisticated containerization such as docker.
