+\frametitle{use a DISTRO\_FEATURE}
+Normally the distro features are used in package groups in a core layer.
+e.g. 'meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-base.bb':
+\begin{verbatim}
+PACKAGES = ' \
+     ..
+     ${@base_contains("DISTRO_FEATURES", \
+                      "opengl", "packagegroup-opengl", "", d)} \
+     ..
+     '

+\item [BB\_FETCH\_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"] only use sources from PREMIRRORS
+\item [BB\_NO\_NETWORK = "1"] throws error instead of accessing internet
+\end{description}
+typical in local.conf to generate the mirror:
+\begin{description}
+\item [BB\_GENERATE\_MIRROR\_TARBALLS = "1"] generates a tarball that can be
