[Toaster] Design - Downloading custom image recipe files

[Reyna, David]

Hi Belén,

I have ready your design document and I think that it is fine, but I have some basic questions.

1. When I think of adapting an existing recipe into a custom one, I would normally do one of these two actions.

  (a) Copy an existing recipe ".bb" file and make a new ".bbapend" file to extend that existing recipe via my local layer. In this case the recipe name would be necessarily the same, as would the recipe file (excepting the extension and/or version).

  (b) Clone the whole recipe directory as a "template" to make my own new similar recipe. In this case I would do a "cp -r *" into my local layer, and then replace all occurrences of the old recipe name in the directory and recipe BB file name(s).

2. From your document, it appears that you are only copying and potentially renaming just the "Recipe File", so I am confused as to how this would be used by a developer.
