I'm trying to reduce "time to first build" on a new build machine as
well as the amount of space/bandwidth needed to mirror downloaded
files.
Instead of setting PV in each recipe I could just duplicate
linux-raspberrypi.inc into my own layer with the change I need. That's
probably the simplest approach for now, I'll just have to keep my eye
on meta-raspberrypi going forward for any changes to
linux-raspberrypi.inc which I'd need to incorporate.
