hob usage
I have a question about hob usage. I understand the basics of hob and how it adds packages. I also understand how it will parse through my local.conf and include any extra packages that I may have included by using IMAGE_INSTALL += <package>.
I've found that if I start with a clean BSP and use hob to add a package, it will allow me to save that configuration anywhere. I'm not sure where I should save it. It contains the IMAGE_INSTALL for the packages I've selected, but is also includes a 'require' statement, which seems to have a relative path, like:
require recipes-sato/images/core-image-sato.bb
Where is the location I should save the hob configuration file? I know that if I save it outside my poky directory, the package will not be included, so it's important where it goes.

This is one of those quirks about hob I found weird. I filed a bug about this:

In general you need to save it somewhere one of your layers looks for additional recipes to run it from the command line.
