I started swapping over local builds to bitbake-setup this week, for a basic qemu core-image-base it was impressively straightforward. But I've immediately run into things where I know how to do them in the old world, but not the right way to do them in the new[1] and failing to find answers in the docs, which isn't to say the answers aren't there, I've just not found them. If there's things I could usefully help with documenting/testing, I've got time on my hands as my current contract is on hold... [1] how do I add a layer which hasn't been migrated to bitbake-setup was the first I hit -- Alex Kiernan
