I should have mentioned that ;-) As the bbappend file is in my layer,  
I was expecting (and want) the defconfig file to be stored/found in  
it. I created this layer by copying another one that I've got. It's  
unpack log shows:

I suspect I've got something configured wrong with the new layer, but...

Sorry Bruce, that was a typo (see working log above for a layer that  
works). I've tried using:

MyLayer/recipies/linux/defconfig
MyLayer/recipies/linux/files/defconfig (with no FILESEXTRAPATHS)
MyLayer/recipies/linux/linux-wrs/defconfig

I'm planning to give it a try after the next release. I'm currently  
just trying to migrate an existing (4.0.1) project to a new platform  
and decided to add a new layer rather than change version at the same  
time.
