Hi Jim,

This is indeed how I manage my extra package files and anything else 
poky needs. Any other interesting input would be good to hear though!

Slightly off-topic, with meta-intel and then checking out branches to 
get specific machines, do you do global work in master, machine specific 
work in the branches, and then merge out from master to the branches to 
keep them all in sync?

Cheers,
Jack.
