How to use Software support layers such as "meta-browser" in a yocto image?

Hello, all!
Who can tell me how could I use the /Software support layers /that 
provided by http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/LayerIndex into my own 
yocto image? For example, how could I use "meta-browser" during image 
building?
Thanks!

Hello,

Clone it into your ./poky/ directory, alongside the other meta directories in ./poky/, and reference it in ./build/conf/bblayers.conf file, BBLAYERS variable (after you sourced oe-init-build-env).
Happy baking!

Note: layers can be anywhere, so there's no need to put it into
your "poky" tree.  Just specify the full path in your bblayers.conf

There are two steps needed here, both are covered in the documentation. 
First you need to add the layer to your bblayers.conf:

 http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#enabling-your-layer

Then you need to add the desired package to your image:

Cheers,
