And you probably searched recipes/ before writing your own? This is my
main source of informationen.
I've created a template and given my just-submitted recipe as an
example.
If you know bitbake and OE policies, please share the wealth:

I don't think you should not use method overrides in the example (the wiki
list those overrides as things to avoid), just use the simpliest form of a
recipe there and refer to the OE usermanual from that page for additional
features, that URL:

More isn't needed (some may argue about PR) and writing more may actually
harm.
Sorry, there was an important line missing:
inherit cmake
-or-
inherit autotools
-or-
inherit your-build-system
or provide your own do_compile, do_install if it is not
cmake/autotools/qmake/whatever
OK, you are right. I missed the fact that this was an example for totally
self-contained recipe (it's like the gumstix example). However this isn't
the usual case and 'for dummies' should IMHO document the most common case
in a way it would be acceptable to this list.
Given the amount of variations found in the repository I would refer
interested persons to read the source and provide a link to the user
manual. The manual is actually quite good :-)
