linux/poky.git/documentation, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

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

ref-manual/terms.rst: update Poky description

2025-11-07T13:15:33+00:00

Poky as in the repository will no longer be updated. Update the description of Poky to remove the last bullet point, and add a note to say that Poky was used before. (From yocto-docs rev: c6f5de9fdbab3f29336ac3bf30150de8777bcad7) Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: add a document to setup poky manually

2025-11-07T13:15:33+00:00

Add a new document describing how to setup the Poky reference distribution manually. This document is referenced in the Quick Guide, so that users that _know_ they want to setup Poky without bitbake-setup have a link to it. This document is also important to reflect the layout of the layers expected by the bblayers.conf.sample file, as explained in [1].

brief-yoctoprojectqs: switch to bitbake-setup

2025-11-07T13:15:33+00:00

Switch to bitbake-setup as it has been merged in BitBake with commit b96154aeb1fc ("bitbake-setup: add the initial implementation"). This is the default way to setup repositories now, so describe it in brief-yoctoprojectqs.rst. Update the BSP layer addition section to use meta-raspberrypi as meta-altera seems abandoned (latest compatible version: mickedore).

2025-11-07T13:15:33+00:00

ref-manual/structure.rst: document the site.conf file

2025-11-07T13:15:33+00:00

This was not documented and its usage is going to increase massively once users start using bitbake-setup. Add a description for this file as well as an example on how bitbake-setup shares it for multiple builds, to insist on the "site-wide" usage of this file.

ref-manual/structure.rst: update the description of local.conf and bblayers.conf

2025-11-07T13:15:33+00:00

The local.conf file is now mostly empty with the default way of setting up the environment (with bitbake-setup), and this file is meant to hold local user configurations, rather than an extensive list of variables. Adjust the description to reflect the intended way of using this configuration file. Also, for both local.conf and bblayers.conf, rephrase the current usage of the template files (.sample files) to _not_ imply that it is the default way the OpenEmbedded build system sets things up.
