a while back, i dug into how FILESEXTRAPATHS worked with respect to
.bbappend files and i wrote it up, just updated it a bit here:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/FILESEXTRAPATHS_and_bbappend_files
do i have it about right? it seemed that the underlying details
weren't really explained well in any of the current yocto docs, and i
wanted something i could point students at.
It looks OK to me although if you're going to point students at it I might
suggest moving the "don't look here!" stuff elsewhere ;)
Also as I believe I mentioned before, FILESEXTRAPATHS adds not just one
directory but an "entire list of directories" is it allows bbappend file
path
behaviour to match that of the recipe itself.
I also think it would be good to point out the use of := in the
FILESEXTRAPATHS assignment and why it's important.

Thanks. You might add a comment about what happens if you do it wrong (I
should know!)
that it will search in the directory that has the .bb file and not the
.bbappend.
i'm already unhappy with the way that whole page is written so i'll
redesign it this weekend, and maybe add a bit more. i just remember it
taking me a while to truly understand what was happening there so i
figured i'd better write it down before i forgot.
