Hi Paul,

Thanks for the contribution!

The recipe itself is simple enough, so no concerns there.

The medium sized question is the dependency on cockpit, which is
maintained in meta-webserver (from the check I just did on the layer
index).

meta-webserver is currently in the layer conf file in the
LAYERRECOMMENDS_virtualization-layer variable (but not mentioned
in the README.md .. I can fix that part though). So we do already have
recipes in meta-virt that need meta-webserver. I'm just pondering whether
adding this bumps it up to LAYERDEPENDS_virtualization-layer.

I think we can still hold off on that, but it would be nice to put a comment
above LAYERRECOMMENDS_virtualization-layer to indicate that this
package also required meta-webserver

The next question is: can you put a description of how someone would
test / use the package into the commit message ? Nothing elaborate, but
just something to help me later when I'm potentially upreving it.

Last question .. the recipe excludes musl (fine with me), but are there
any arch considerations ? I don't think there should be given how it is
configured and built and the description, but if there are, we should just
restrict it up front versus someone asking questions about riscv64 later :)

Cheers,

Bruce
