Hello,

Is is useful/possible if we add something like bitbake <recipe> -cmenuconfig,
just like kernel's make menuconfig ?

We can use the menuconfig to config the vars such as MACHINE, DL_DIR,
DISTRO_FEATURES, MACHINE_FEATURES and all the variables which are
configurable, I think that this would help the newbie a lot.

I think that we can add a menuconfig.bbclass (or other names) to do this,
and I'd like to work on it.

Thanks

Robert
