[yocto] Additional layers with class and conf

[Woronicz, Bartosz (Nokia - PL/Wroclaw)]

That's a good point, I took a look at it. But for now I rather rely on poky distro. Later, possibly I will put my classes in INHERIT to mydistro.conf.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Do you mean you put local.conf in a conf subdirectory of a layer? If so,
that's not really expected to work.

You don't, at least not in that way. The correct way to do things like this is
to create a custom distro and then set DISTRO to point to it. Your distro conf 
file can then set these kinds of things.
