I want to upgrade some packages of poky/meta/recipes-graphics/ like weston_2.0.0.bb to weston_4.0.0.bb. Also I don't want any changes to be made in poky/meta layer. What is the best way of doing these kinds of upgradations. I think bbappend here will create problems as the SRC_URI and other variables use the PV from recipe name to fulfil some operations. The other thing I can do is create a weston_4.0.0.bb file in my own custom layer and work but then I don't know how to disable the older(original) weston_2.0.0.bb file. What will be the best method to upgrade packages. One thing to remind you that the SRC_URI is not a repository , it's a tarball repo. So I directly can't replace the SRC_URI in .bbappend file. Any leads regarding this will be appreciated.
