Mark Hatle 376ed63eb9 bitbake: lib/layerindexlib/tests/cooker.py: Fix topdir to use an absolute (real) path
The test case needs to access test case files.  Different versions of python
may return absolute or relative locations in __file__.  Use the same approach
as other test cases in determining the location of the test files.

The layerindexlib module is designed to permit programs to work directly
with layer index information.  (See layers.openembedded.org...)

The layerindexlib module includes a plugin interface that is used to extend
the basic functionality.  There are two primary plugins available: restapi
and cooker.

The restapi plugin works with a web based REST Api compatible with the
layerindex-web project, as well as the ability to store and retried a
the information for one or more files on the disk.

The cooker plugin works by reading the information from the current build
project and processing it as if it were a layer index.


TODO:

__init__.py:
Implement local on-disk caching (using the rest api store/load)
Implement layer index style query operations on a combined index

common.py:
Stop network access if BB_NO_NETWORK or allowed hosts is restricted

cooker.py:
Cooker - Implement recipe parsing
