When a layer is added it needs to be in a list, otherwise the system will
error such as:
Specified layer directory / doesn't contain a conf/layer.conf file
Additionally, instead of calling the add layer function over and over, it
is better to add all of the new content in one command. Otherwise the
order is important as the system now checks if the layer can be added. For
instance, trying to add meta-python:
Layer Required by Git repository Subdirectory
===================================================================================================================
meta-python - git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded meta-python
meta-oe meta-python git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded meta-oe
openembedded-core meta-python git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core meta
Adding layer "meta-python" (.../oe-core/meta-openembedded/meta-python) to conf/bblayers.conf
ERROR: Layer 'meta-python' depends on layer 'openembedded-layer', but this layer is not enabled in your configuration
The system would try to add meta-python before the dependent meta-oe. Adding
them both at the same time resolves this issue.

Bitbake
=======
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
html version at the Yocto Project website:

Please refer to
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
