[yocto] override layer to literally rename all desired visible strings in a build, and python 2.7.9 error 132

[S.Sami]

Hello.

I am new to yocto, and for a project i am in need of modifying 
openswitch build for a presenattion in a way that the final build ( for 
this presentation it will be appliance ova) it shows another string or 
better to say a new Distro instead of openswitch in the final build. 
what i am looking for is a solution to change the name of all files and 
folders in the final build so that they show "test" instead of openswitch.

i have been told that it is possible by creating a new layer on top of 
current openswitch ops-build repo. But since i am new to this i am 
getting confused on the steps i should follow and thus it will take much 
time.

can anyone kindly guide me here on how should this be done? what are the 
processes involved?

one more thing is that any kind of change to the Distro name" 
openswitch" or created files or folder names by the build process will 
always result in a python_2.7.9 do_install error which interrupts the 
process.

Bellow is the error generated by python installation( i have used "test 
"as the desired distro name).

I will be so grateful if any one can help me get out of this situation.
