[yocto] Layer priorities & package selection

[Gujulan Elango, Hari Prasath (H.)]

Hello all,


We are having two yocto layers in our project. One is SoC specific layer and the other is the meta-ivi. Now we have two packages provided by both these layers. wayland_1.9.0 & weston_1.9.0. We want both these packages from the SoC specific layer and not the ones that are coming from meta-ivi. The reason being that the SoC vendor has done some modifications for hw acceleration and stuff like that. Since meta-ivi is having higher priority( Priority: 7) than the SoC specific layer(Priority : 6) , naturally these packages are provided by meta-ivi and not the Soc layer which we actually want.


How to modify the layer priority without touching the layer specific conf file ? Can we have a append to the layer conf file ?
