meta-yocto: Restructure and tidy up READMEs
The YP Compat v2 standard requres a more specific README structure. Bring
meta-yocto to the required standard and clean up some of the data in the
READMEs whilst in there.

1 | Poky | ||
2 | ==== | ||
3 | |||
4 | Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged | ||
5 | build system and development environment. It features support for building | ||
6 | customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images | ||
7 | featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports | ||
8 | cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a | ||
9 | standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration. | ||
10 | |||
11 | Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports | ||
12 | is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added | ||
13 | in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. | ||
14 | |||
15 | As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as | ||
16 | BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information | ||
17 | e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a | ||
20 | reference manual which can be found at: | ||
21 | http://yoctoproject.org/documentation | ||
22 | |||
23 | OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions | ||
24 | of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with | ||
25 | DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support. | ||
26 | |||
27 | For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: | ||
28 | http://www.openembedded.org/ | ||

30 | Where to Send Patches | ||
31 | ===================== | ||
32 | |||
33 | As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), | ||
34 | patches against the various components should be sent to their respective | ||
35 | upstreams: | ||
36 | |||
37 | bitbake: | ||
38 | Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ | ||
39 | Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org | ||
40 | |||
41 | documentation: | ||
42 | Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ | ||
43 | Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org | ||
44 | |||
45 | meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: | ||
46 | Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) | ||
47 | Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org | ||
48 | |||
49 | Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in | ||
50 | doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. | ||
51 | Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git | ||
52 | repository. | ||
53 | |||
54 | Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/ | ||
55 | Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org | ||
56 | |||
57 | Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of | ||
58 | oe-core and poky-specific files from meta-poky. | ||
