You have 2 ways of doing this: 1. Use the import layer functionality. This is how: * In the project page, click the "import layer" link you will find below the add layers text field. * Provide the required information for meta-qt5, meta-ruby and meta-oe. Note that: 1. Toaster will force you to rename the layers (for example to meta-qt5-local or something like that) since Toaster requires layer names to be unique. 2. In the Git repository URL field, enter the full path to the local layer you have cloned 3. In the Revision field, enter the branch, tag or commit of the local layers you want to use. You should also be able to set the revision to HEAD here, and I believe that should use the tip of the current local branch. Alex, please correct me if I am wrong If you import your own versions of meta-oe and meta-ruby before meta-qt5 you can also set the layer dependencies for your meta-qt5-local to your imported layers using the Layer dependencies at the bottom of the import layer page. 2. The second way involves creating your own release by editing the toasterconf.json file that you will find inside the meta-yocto layer, in the /conf directory. In the releases section, create your own release, following the format of the release called 'local', and setting the branch and the default layers as you need them. Alex or Michael should be able to give you more information on how to use this second option. Let us know how you get on, and if you need anything else.
