Hello

I'd like to add an append recipe for base-files in order to install a custom 
fstab.

In my system I already have this base-files recipes:

     
layers/openembedded-core-1.4/meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb
     
layers/meta-montavista-1.4/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bbappend

So I in my layer I have:

layers/meta-mylayer/recipes/base-files
├── base-files_3.0.14.bbappend
└── files
     └── fstab

and I add this base-files_3.0.14.bbappend content:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}:"

SRC_URI_append = "file://fstab"

do_install_append() {
         echo "======= ${PN}-${PV} INSTALLING fstab ========"
         install -m 644 ${WORKDIR}/fstab ${D}${sysconfdir}
}

but no matter how I put FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend or how I name my bbappend when 
I build the recipe with bitbake base-files it never gets called and my fstab 
file is not installed.
If the original recipe is base-files_3.0.14.bb, why append is 
base-files_3.0.14.bbappend instead of base-files_3.bbappend only? How should i 
name and put FILESEXTRAPATHS

Instead of putting your fstab in 'files', put it in a directory
called 'base-files-3.0.14' which is where your FILESEXTRAPATHS
is looking.
