[yocto] Fwd: Yocto Layers not getting recognized by bitbake

[varun bhatnagar]

Thanks a ton for the reply Paul.... :)
But how to clone the meta-openembedded repository. I am not very clear on
the suggestion given by you.  :(
Can you please provide some steps on how to do this (cloning open-embedded
repository).
