Hello,

    I have been building images using HOB, and that works very well.

    I had read in the docs about creating a custom package group, and I did 
this, and it worked well until I needed to incorporate some openembedded 
layers.

    After that my custom package group is either being ignored or 
overridden.

    I am having to select multiple perl libraries and system utilities for 
my package, and this is not only error prone and tedious, but I really want 
to keep these settings in a way that I can reapply them easily.

    I expect to use the same setup in the future on a different 
architecture, and having a layer or script that I can apply which works like 
the custom package group originally did would be great.

    I would appreciate any ideas,

Thanks,

Kurt Stevens
