And it was not green all the way.

I get an error that I do not get how to get around. The error message is:

ERROR: Unable to parse
/home/mirzak/project/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-autobuilder-mender-rpi/yocto-worker/nightly-mender-rpi/build/meta-mender/conf/layer.conf:
[Errno 2] file /home/mirzak/project/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-autobuilder-mender-rpi/yocto-worker/nightly-mender-rpi/build/meta-mender/conf/layer.conf
not found

The error message I understand. But I do not understand why it adds
meta-mender to bblayers files. I did not tell it to do that, because
meta-mender contains layers that I want to include. Similar to
meta-openembedded (which is also added to bblayers).

Here is the bblayers.conf also for reference:
mirzak at debian:~/project/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-autobuilder-mender-rpi/yocto-worker/nightly-mender-rpi/build/build/conf$
cat bblayers.conf
POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION =  "2"
BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?=""

Can I disable the "magic" that added meta-mender and meta-openembedded?

Best Regards
