I'm curious to know what heuristic "bitbake-layers layerindex-fetch"
uses to determine where to place the fetched layers?
I asked my system to:
$ bitbake-layers layerindex-fetch meta-qt5
and it keeps insisting on installing meta-qt5 and meta-openembedded
under my openembedded-core layers resulting in:
/z/master/layers/openembedded-core/meta-openembedded/meta-ruby \
/z/master/layers/openembedded-core/meta-qt5 \
Is there a way that I can tell bitbake-layers that my layers are located
at /z/master/layers and have it work from there?

This is controlled by BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR; by default this is set to
"${COREBASE}" with ??= so you can set it to your preferred value in local.conf
as desired. (We should definitely document this, I acknowledge at the moment it
isn't documented anywhere.)
Cheers,
Paul

Awesome, thanks! :-)

I've sent a patch for the Bitbake User's Manual.

It'd be nice if "bitbake-layers remove-layer" had the same mechanism.
Some way (preferably using the same BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR variable,
possibly renamed so it made sense in both cases) to specify the base of
where my layers are stored:
$ bitbake-layers remove-layer meta-realtime
No layers matching /z/master/rpi-poky-linaro-rt/meta-realtime found
in BBLAYERS
But my layers are stored in /z/master/layers.
Of course I can get around this by using:
$ bitbake-layers remove-layer *meta-realtime

Right, it expects a layer path and not just a layer name. I've entered the
following enhancement:
