Morty 2.2.1 build failure

[Greg Wilson-Lindberg <GWilson@sakuraus.com>]

Hello List,

I got a copy of the book "Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project" at the SCALE 15x conference and this prompted me to try building the Yocto Poky build before getting the Boot to Qt Yocto build environment.

I tried building on 2 x86 systems, a 64 bit system at work and a 32 bit system at my home, both failed in the same way:

You had no conf/local.conf file. This configuration file has therefore been
created for you with some default values. You may wish to edit it to, for
example, select a different MACHINE (target hardware). See conf/local.conf
for more information as common configuration options are commented.

You had no conf/bblayers.conf file. This configuration file has therefore been
created for you with some default values. To add additional metadata layers
into your configuration please add entries to conf/bblayers.conf.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about OE including a reference
manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/documentation

### Shell environment set up for builds. ###

You can now run 'bitbake <target>'

Common targets are:
    core-image-minimal
    core-image-sato
    meta-toolchain
    meta-ide-support

You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'

I get 1 file that needs to go to a mirror and a second file that can't be found at all.

Are these known bugs? Do I need to just back up and use Morty 2.2?
