+Meta-backports
+================================
+
+Introduction
+-------------------------
+
+This layer is a place for backports against stable OpenEmbedded releases. For
+stable OpenEmbedded releases, only bug fixes are merged by the OE developers,
+and sometimes it might be useful to have newer versions of some components. This
+layer will provide such facility.
+
+We will accept backports from OE-core and meta-oe only, at least to start with.
+
+The meta-backports layer depends on:
+
+	URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
+	layers: meta
+	branch: master
+
+	URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
+	layers: meta-oe
+	branch: master
+
+Please follow the recommended setup procedures of your OE distribution. For
+Angstrom that is http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom, other
+distros should have similar online resources.
+
+Notes
+-------------------------
+
+The recipes are organized by 'layer name' in the top level folder, such that
+recipes are parsed (and used) only if the corresponding layer is enabled in your
+current configuration. This is to avoid bringing un-needed (or even unexpected)
+dependencies into your build environment.
+
+Contributing
