Typically a single change cascades through the entire task dependency
chain. Developers had to figure that out themselves, based on hard to
read and interpret output (not sorted, no indention, no explanations):
$ yocto-compat-layer.py -n meta-xxxx
...
AssertionError: True is not false : Layer meta-xxxx changed signatures.
webkitgtk:do_install changed fe2edc9082bc0da98f9cb1391c52f565 -> b3a44684c5cd9aacd3f7c6ed88eefab5
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:do_configure changed 3b2f8211be3fe08422bf6087f3af16d1 -> 7d80e42fa1f4f01ff4dfe2ea4477d382
pulseaudio:do_package_qa changed 5d0a58ada66ff17f5576555302ac319a -> 0e13bcb96143d1ae54c451bc3de0aa30
epiphany:do_prepare_recipe_sysroot changed 29e1b277dbcb005bd54950594c50d91b -> d3c45527b37677a0668ce483c6db3052
...
gst-player:do_packagedata changed 9ce6efdd357dd74919bc4957458b1e95 -> d0c083ce629f37adfc9c4ba9eff81f83
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:do_install changed 1161cd867d15bea63e5dd5d9abf0519c -> 5bf2b652a2d77fee3eedb35af2f201a0
gstreamer1.0-rtsp-server:do_packagedata changed 6781dc3070f80b843ed1970d74dd323e -> 454620c2e3b9fea87e525d14b6ed0344
alsa-plugins:do_packagedata changed 1808c3f737cb805b169d004e948ea19c -> 480124b7fa5eab1f73bf96440d725231
Now the tool automates the problem analysis: it retrieves the depgraph
using the tinfoil API and only reports those tasks with modified
signatures whose dependencies have not changed, i.e. those tasks which
definitely introduce a change.
>From the previous example, that just leaves two tasks that need to be
checked:
AssertionError: False is not true : Layer meta-xxxx changed 120 signatures, initial differences (first hash without, second with layer):
gstreamer1.0-plugins-base:do_fetch: 76973f19f2e30d282152bdd7e4efe5bb -> e6e7c6fa9f2bd59d7d8d107f7c6ca1ac
pulseaudio:do_install: 668eb1e30af129df9806b0aa0d7c10cd -> 1196bdb88eef56eeee4613bb06b9387e
This pruning might be a bit too aggressive in the sense that tasks
which inherit a change and then add more changes themselves won't be
reported initially. They will be found when fixing the reported tasks
and re-running the check.
For a developer it seems better to have something listed which
definitely is a problem and needs fixing instead of everything,
including the tasks which don't need fixes.

README
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.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
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.
