[OE-core] [RFC PATCH 0/7] Developer workflow improvements

[Trevor Woerner]

Oops! (this worked before the "git pull")

    $ devtool add xannounce ~/devel/yocto/build/workflow/xannounce/
    NOTE: Creating workspace layer in
    /home/trevor/devel/yocto/build/workflow/build/workspace
    NOTE: Recipe
    /home/trevor/devel/yocto/build/workflow/build/workspace/recipes/xannounce/xannounce.bb
    has been automatically created; further editing may be required to
    make it fully functional

Sure enough...

    $ devtool-workflow> tree workspace/
    workspace/
    |-- appends
    |-- conf
    |   `-- layer.conf
    `-- recipes
        `-- xannounce

    4 directories, 1 file


whereas before it was:

    $ tree workspace/
    workspace/
    |-- appends
    |   `-- xannounce.bbappend
    |-- conf
    |   `-- layer.conf
    `-- recipes
        `-- xannounce
            `-- xannounce.bb

    4 directories, 3 files

For some reason my recipe and bbappends are not getting created :-(
