  short note -- the wiki page "Creating a new Layer":

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Creating_a_new_Layer

seems out of date, in that the "Best practices" section refers to
qt4.inc and the QT_SQL_DRIVER_FLAGS variable:

"An example here would be the way Qt 4 database support plugins are
configured - OE-core doesn't have MySQL or PostgreSQL, however meta-oe
does, so meta-oe uses .bbappends to modify a variable
QT_SQL_DRIVER_FLAGS to enable the appropriate plugins. This variable
was added to qt4.inc in OE-core specifically to allow meta-oe to be
able to control which plugins are built."

  i don't think so:

$ git show 64c6887ca19d2ce52e538186c93163dddf68438f

    qt4: remove bbappend content

    These changes to Qt's configuration need to be applied in distro layers,
    not in meta-oe.

    (We have to preserve the PRINC value to avoid PR going backwards.)

  might want to pick a different example.
