unable to add a new file to base-files recipe via bbappend

unable to add a new file to base-files recipe via bbappend

Hello all,
	I added a base-files_3.0.14.bbappend file in my custom layer and
pointed the SRC_URI as follows

        SRC_URI += "file://xorg.conf"
        
The xorg.conf file is at "base-files/files/xorg.conf" on my custom
layer. But, the bitbake fails to find the file.

> | ERROR: Function 'Fetcher failure for URL: 'file://xorg.conf'. 
> Unable to fetch URL file://xorg.conf from any source.' failed

I guess, the method that I am following here to add a new source file
via the bbappend is wrong.

Please guide me.

Regards
Joshua

You need to set something like
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
for fetcher to look in ${PN} subdirectory of directory where 
you have .bbappend

And you're bbappending wrong recipe, xorg.conf belongs to
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/

Oops. Will bbappend to the above mentioned recipe.
