Thanks Randy.

I stepped through the process of making an extensible SDK based on my
image.  Is the conf/locked-sigs.inc file the manifest you mentioned?

Unfortunately, devtool is failing for me ("ImportError: No module
named site"...looks like the SDK is missing a python library?) but it
is great to at least be able to build it and get a sense of the
contents.

I'm uploading my sstate to a server so theoretically updating would be
a process of grabbing items from this server cache into the
'sstate-cache' directory within the SDK?  If I needed a new package
not originally included in the SDK, I would do something like devtool
get opencv-dev?

Thanks for any insights.  I realize this is work-in-progress so I'm
just looking to get a sense of how things might work.
