Hi Matthew & Co,

The lio-utils package is licensed under GPLv2, and you'll want to use
the lio-utils v4.x that is available from:

http://www.risingtidesystems.com/git/?p=lio-utils.git;a=summary

As Andy mentioned, the we've deprecated the lio-utils CLI, but a part of
lio-utils is still required for saving the running configuration with
the upstream targetcli code.

So for integrating target userspace into Yocto, you'll need to include:

- lio-utils
- rtslib
- config-shell
- targetcli

There are a number of non-trival python dependencies for the latter
three, so I would suggest taking a look how other distros have done this
for this packages.
