<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Thanks for the feedback in this area. Your observations are pretty much in line with what I got from Paul Eggleton, who is on the YP Team. I am going to reduce
what is revealed file-wise in the meta-yocto layer. Turns out that auto.conf and site.conf are files that a user would have to hand-create if they even wanted them. We happen to provide a sample for site.conf only. The auto.conf file would be a file that
could be created and written to by an autobuilder. The auto.conf file could contain settings that would be similar to what you would see in a local.conf file. My understanding is that it exists mainly for autobuilders to stuff things into. I will note this
in the section I’m developing here for this configuration stuff. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

regarding what they feed into the whole process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think the general diagram looks pretty good, although I'd argue there's a little too much detail in the file list being shown, or else some of this new stuff is going to be useful in 1.5 when it's not doing anything in 1.4. Here are
the files I see as excessive:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I don't see anything specifying machines. Do you want to break that out here, or are you thinking that's going to come into play somewhere else? If you're thinking of breaking out machines elsewhere, I'd argue that distros are on
a similar level of detail and then also don't belong on this chart.<o:p></o:p></p>

I am going to start throwing these diagrams out to the mailing list and see if I can get any feedback. This attached figure dives into user configuration. Any and all discussion, correction, suggestions are welcome.<br>
