[yocto] cannelloni.bb (Was: [Chicken and Egg problem] Defining RDEPENDS of the package itself)

[Zoran Stojsavljevic]

Actually, I ran into this:
http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-extended/socketcan

So here, I think, can-utils recipes should be revisited, cannelloni
recipe added, and also another application recipe added as well:
https://github.com/dschanoeh/socketcand/

Best Regards,
Zoran
