"poky" is the reference distribution for the Yocto Project. This renames the layer within the meta-yocto repository to meta-poky, better matching what that layer contains. A layer.conf file is left behind as this is the only way which allows existing builds to migrate safely to the new name. It will be removed at some future point. This change requires the corresponding OE-Core change to handle the migration and the changes to the infrastructure to support this.

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 = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
|
|
|
|

Where to Send Patches
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer),
|
|
patches against the various components should be sent to their respective
|
|
upstreams:
|
|
|
|
bitbake:
|
|
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
|
|
Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
|
|
|
|
documentation:
|
|
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
|
|
Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
|
|
|
|
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp:
|
|
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp)
|
|
Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
|
|
|
|
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in
|
|
doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
|
|
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
|
|
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
|
|
|
|
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of
|
|
oe-core and poky-specific files.
