Hello Nicolas, Thanks for your answer. Will these two files conf/auto.conf and conf/site.conf be able to handle changes for bblayers.conf as well?
For example we need to add meta-qt5 but would prefer to append to the layers already there and not add our changes into bblayers.conf to avoid merge work.
