From 3a6948a2af25c1094b22a70c923dfecc296dad8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joshua Lock Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 17:18:29 +0100 Subject: handbook: add documentation for layers Collections and overlays are deprecated in favour of layers, a much cleaner and non-intrusive way of extending Poky with custom recipes, classes and configuration. This patch updates the Extending Poky section of the handbook to show how to use layers to tailor Poky while dropping the existing section on using collections.
