I suppose so yes. Out of interest I did a search of OE-Core and there were 
more recipes than I would have guessed that set PR, so it could perhaps be 
useful. I'm not sure I'd bother adding it to the UI yet though (and you 
haven't, that's fine.)

So unfortunately no, you need to send it as an actual patch and not just 
pasted into an email - git-format-patch / git-send-email are the most 
effective ways to do that (though it assumes you are able to send email 
directly from your linux system). Here's some info:

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded

(Of course you'd need to change mailing lists / prefixes in the examples, and 
some of the metadata requirements don't apply, but the basics are the same.)

One other thing - you're editing the initial migration (layerindex/migrations/
0001_initial.py) - that's not right. You need to undo the change to 
0001_initial.py and then generate a new migration using the following command:

./manage.py createmigrations layerindex

That will give you a new migration in layerindex/migrations/. You can then 
apply that migration to the database in the normal way:

./manage.py migrate layerindex

Of course if your database already has those new fields the latter will fail, 
in this instance you could simply add --fake since the result would have been 
the same.

Cheers,
Paul
