There is still a great deal of confusion over where patches for the
various components of the poky repository should be sent. Attempt to
mitigate this by including a blurb in the poky README similar to what
other layers and repositories do.
V2: Call out the special care required when dealing with the scripts
directory per Saul Wold's recommendation.
V3: Recommend applying patches to oe-core prior to sending patches to
the oe-core mailing list.

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/

|
Where to Send Patches
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
|
|
should be sent to their respective upstreams.
|
|
|
|
bitbake:
|
|
bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
|
|
|
|
meta-yocto:
|
|
poky@yoctoproject.org
|
|
|
|
Most 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.
|
|
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.
