[yocto] bbappend - Where should my file be?

[Chris Tapp]

I've got a linux-wrs_git.bbappend file in a layer (under poky laverne  
4.0.1) that contains:

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_Vortex86DX = "Vortex86DX"
WRMACHINE_Vortex86DX  = "common_pc"

FILESEXTRAPATHS := "${THISDIR}/${PN}"

SRC_URI += " file://defconfig"

Where should the defconfig file be relative to the bbappend?

I've tried:

MyLayer
       +--- recipies
                   +--- linux
                            +--- linux-wrs_git.bbappend
                            +--- linux-wrs_git
                                             +--- defconfig


However, my defconfig file isn't being picked up during do_unpack:

ERROR: Task failed:

Which seems to show that it's not looking in FILESEXTRAPATHS.

The .bbappend file seems to be processed, as commenting out the  
SRC_URI line gets rid of the error.

What have I got wrong?
