Hi
Why does yocto .gitignpre include meta-*/. Why would we possibly want to
ignore custom layers ?

I presume you mean the .gitignore in the poky repository. Any additional
custom layers shouldn't be part of the poky repository, they should be in
separate repositories.
Cheers,

That's right. But how would you put "build/*" and my own "meta-*" in a
seperate repo. Pulling them in as submodules seems painfull and having the
yocto-repo included as a submodule in another repo seems backwards too.
Do you have a proposed "best-practice"-way of maintaining own layers?

There are a number of different options:
* submodules
* repo [1]
* combo-layer [2] (what we use for Poky)
* or, just keep the repositories separate
Re build/, you shouldn't need to keep that under version control. If you are
setting a large number of variables in local.conf that you want to preserve,
that is a sign that you should move these to a custom distro configuration file
[3].
Cheers,
Paul
