And you probably searched recipes/ before writing your own?  This is my 
main source of informationen.

I don't think you should not use method overrides in the example (the wiki 
list those overrides as things to avoid), just use the simpliest form of a 
recipe there and refer to the OE usermanual from that page for additional 
features, that URL: 
http://docs.openembedded.org/usermanual/usermanual.html#chapter_recipes

PR = "r0"  # Package Revision, update this whenever you change the recipe.

More isn't needed (some may argue about PR) and writing more may actually 
harm.
