Aha. We use the 'dora' branch in Yocto but need some packages provided
only in meta-openembedded.
Are you saying that we should not use the 'dora' branch in
meta-openembedded but instead go for 'master'?
I am probably confused here, but I distinctively though 'dora' in
Yocto would require the same in OE :(
