Hi,  Khem

There are 2 solutions for the problem, Which do you think is better?


1.  fix this by using BBFILES_DYNAMIC, add a folder dynamic-layers under 
meta-oe,

and move those recipes that depend on meta-python under the 
dynamic-layers.  and add

these bbfiles by BBFILES_DYNAMIC.   but these will need to move many 
recipes from

original folder to folder dynamic-layers,   do you think this change is 
acceptable?

git diff conf/layer.conf

+# only activates content when identified layers are present,
+# to ensure yocto compatibility check pass
+BBFILES_DYNAMIC += 
"meta-python:${LAYERDIR}/dynamic-layers/meta-python/recipes-*/*/*.bb \
+"

2. move those python recipes from meta-python under meta-oe
