The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/dev-manual/poky-manual-setup.html b) use the new bitbake-setup https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/dev/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-environment-setup.html You can find more information in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

meta-yocto: Restructure and tidy up READMEs

2017-09-14T12:36:22+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

meta-yocto: Rename to meta-poky to better match its purpose

2016-02-28T11:31:17+00:00

"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.

README: expand the Where To Send Patches section

README: fix DISTRO = "" reference

2014-01-02T12:58:54+00:00

DISTRO should be set to "nodistro" for distro-less configurations since empty string results in empty items ending up in OVERRIDES leading to unexpected behaviour with FILESPATH. (From OE-Core rev: 25436b6813b6245faeb981cf93a0c32b871dd8d3) Signed-off-by: Paul Eggleton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

README: Clarify where to send patches

2012-08-22T13:05:00+00:00

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.
