Hello,

We were facing a issue when building 'weston'. The issue is we had included 
meta-renesas & poky in our bblayers.conf file. The weston package is provided 
by both poky(v1.8.0) and meta-renesas(v1.9.0). We want the weston provided by 
the meta-renesas layer as it is the latest and also includes some changes done 
by Renesas.


But for some reason, it was building the weston provided by poky(1.8.0) which 
we don't want. Then we realized the issue to a backslash added by mistake in 
the bblayers.conf file after meta-rcar-gen3 as shown below.


# LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = "6"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta-yocto \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-renesas/meta-rcar-gen3/ \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/ \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-visteon-monarch \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-browser \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-gnome \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-networking \
  ${TOPDIR}/../meta-openembedded/meta-python \
  "
BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE ?= " \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta \
  ${TOPDIR}/../poky/meta-yocto \
  "


After removing the character, its now building the weston provided by the 
mera-rcar-gen3 layer(v1.9.0) correctly as we expect. But I am not able to 
understand what was happening when the backslash character was present. Also 
when I was building weston with this unwanred character, I was getting the 
warning shown below which I couldn't understand.
