Software layers were previously allowed to change signatures, but
that's not desired for those layers either. The rule that a layer
which is "Yocto Compatible 2.0" must not change signatures unless
explicitly requested holds for all kinds of layers.
However, as this is something that software layers might not be able
to do right away, testing for signature changes in software layers can
be disabled. It's on by default, as that was Richard's
recommendation. Whether that should change needs further discussion as
part of finalizing "Yocto Compatible 2.0".
As it might still change, the tool now has both a with/without
parameter so that users of the tool can choose the desired behavior
without being affected by future changes to the default.

The yocto-compat-layer script serves as a tool to validate the alignament
of a layer with YP Compatible Layers Programme [1], is based on an RFC
sent to the ML to enable automatic testing of layers [2] that wants to
be YP Compatible.
The tool takes an layer (or set of layers) via command line option -l
and detects what kind of layer is distro, machine or software and then
executes a set of tests against the layer in order to validate the
compatibility.
The tests currently implemented are:
common.test_readme: Test if a README file exists in the layer and isn't
empty.
common.test_parse: Test for execute bitbake -p without errors.
common.test_show_environment: Test for execute bitbake -e without errors.
common.test_signatures: Test executed in BSP and DISTRO layers to review
doesn't comes with recipes that changes the signatures.
bsp.test_bsp_defines_machines: Test if a BSP layers has machines
configurations.
bsp.test_bsp_no_set_machine: Test the BSP layer to doesn't set
machine at adding layer.
distro.test_distro_defines_distros: Test if a DISTRO layers has distro
configurations.
distro.test_distro_no_set_distro: Test the DISTRO layer to doesn't set
distro at adding layer.
Example of usage:
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ yocto-compat-layer.py LAYER_DIR
