There was a question in the sync meeting about what people would like
to see in this cycle. I forgot to speak up: I'd like bitbake-setup
installable with pip :) I'm not 100% sure where we are with this right
now; I think all needed patches (or at least all published patches)
have merged, and what remains is the mechanics of making a release and
getting the artefacts to pypi.

The reason I'd like to see that is partly self-serving: I'm going to
talk about bitbake-setup (this time, as a released, shipped feature in
yocto) in ELC in Prague on 9 October, and it would be awesome to kick
it off with 'pip install bitbake-setup', rather than 'git clone
https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake'. But it's also good publicity
for the project to do it the former way.

So I'd like to hear from you Rob where we're at and if there's
something I could do, I'd be glad to.

Cheers,
Alex
