overriding arago.conf settings

Hi!
Do anyone know how to overriding variables set in arago.conf using
layer.conf or local.conf settings (or anything else that touching Arago
layer). I try to set something else on my own layer
(PREFERRED_VERSION_u-boot). I have tried changing layer orders in
bblayers.conf and priority in layer.conf. In fact if I got it right from
Yocto documentation distro.conf is just parsed first and that is what rules.
Thanks,
Matti

I found how to do it in layer.conf:
PREFERRED_VERSION_u-boot_forcevariable                = "2013.10"
PREFERRED_VERSION_u-boot-ti-staging_forcevariable     = "2013.10%"

Correct. Not sure why would you prefer older u-boot, but still. Also, maybe 
local.conf is a better place to do that, but it will work anyway.

Actually, it's Distro's job to set preferences, hence it usually sets things 
unconditionally. That's why it's not very easy to override. But it's possible. 
Just use _forcevariable override, e.g. VAR_forcevariable = VAL.
