[yocto] how to store a modification of a bbclass in the poky layer in my own layer.

Hello! I've made a modification in poky/meta/classes/libc-package.bbclass ( shown below) However I don't want this change to be stored here long term and instead feel that it should live in my project specific layer, meta-hon-grip. After checking with bitbake-layers, I saw that my layer has a h

[yocto] difference between DEPLOYDIR vs D

Hello, I'm trying to understand the correlation between the $DEPLOYDIR and $D variables. They both seem very similar. Do files from DEPLOYDIR eventually get copied to D in order to finally make its way into the final package? If so, why bother with DEPLOYDIR and instead just copy straight into
