If the kernel version string uses characters or symbols that need to be santized for the package name, we can end up with a mismatch between module requirements and what the kernel provides. The kernel version is pulled from utsrelease.h, which contains the exact string that was passed to the kernel build, not one that is santized, this can result in: echo "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="\"MYVER+snapshot_standard\" >> ${B}/.config <build> % rpm -qp kernel-module-uvesafb-3.4-r0.qemux86.rpm --requires update-modules kernel-3.4.3-MYVER+snapshot_standard % rpm -qp kernel-3.4.3-myver+snapshot-standard-3.4-r0.qemux86.rpm --provides kernel-3.4.3-myver+snapshot-standard = 3.4-r0 At rootfs assembly time, we'll have a dependency issue with the kernel providing the santizied string and the modules requiring the utsrelease.h string. To not break existing use cases, we can add a second provides to the kernel packaging with the unsantized version string, and allowing the kernel module packaging to be unchanged. RPROVIDES_kernel-base += "kernel-${KERNEL_VERSION}" % rpm -qp kernel-3.4.3-myver+snapshot-standard-3.4-r0.qemux86.rpm --provides kernel-3.4.3-MYVER+snapshot_standard kernel-3.4.3-myver+snapshot-standard = 3.4-r0 (From OE-Core rev: 7be043178f5b9d16d9a06696bc0b96689f202a8d) Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> |

Poky ==== Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration. Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project. The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
