Add More to the Layer if Necessary:
Use your layer to hold other information needed for the
- distribution.
- You can add recipes for installing distro-specific
- configuration files that are not already
- installed by another recipe.
- If you have distro-specific configuration files that are
- included by an existing recipe, you should add a
- .bbappend for those.
- You should add any image recipes that are specific to your
- distribution.
- You should add a psplash append file
- for a branded splash screen.
- Finally, be sure to add any other append files to make
- custom changes that are specific to individual recipes.
