Thank you for updating on this. I'm looking forward to hopefully see
progress in this area in the future. For the time being, I'll go on
manually importing those recipes. By the way, one of them
(python-twisted) is triggering some problems when RDEPENDing on it: I
have to figure out if they are yocto specific or not. If not, I'll
report to meta-oe people.
