The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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 b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach 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

bitbake: Use a "fork" multiprocessing context

2025-07-23T10:34:31+00:00

Python 3.14 changes the default multiprocessing context from "fork" to "forkserver"; however bitbake heavily relies on "fork" to efficiently pass data to the child processes. As such, make "fork" context in the bb namespace and use it in place of the normal multiprocessing module. Note that multiprocessing contexts were added in Python 3.4, so this should be safe to use even before Python 3.14 [YOCTO #15858] (Bitbake rev: 62be9113d98fccb347c6aa0a10d5c4ee2857f8b6) Signed-off-by: Joshua Watt Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: tests/fetch: Allow wget upgrade tests to run against a local server

2020-01-22T15:56:39+00:00

Currently these tests rely upon multiple uptream webservers which may change or be unavailable. Add local copies of the test data, copy the httpserver from OE-Core (used for testing there) and run these tests against a local server instead.
