The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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-bblayers/create: Fix layer name generation

2018-06-29T10:07:45+00:00

The path to where the layer was being created was taken verbatim as the name of the layer when generating the layer.conf and README files from templates. This causes problems in the layer.conf file because it would result in strangely named variables like BBFILE_PATTERN_../my-layer = "..." Instead of blindly taking the path, use the name of the last component of the path as the layer name. Additionally, rework the template files to use python format strings with named parameters so that the same argument doesn't have to be repeated multiple times.

action: new bitbake-layer plugin to create a simple layer

2017-08-09T08:24:16+00:00

Though the script bitbake-layers (from the bitbake project), this plugin creates a simple layer with a example recipe, the latter with a single task (do_build). Layer's license and priority is MIT and 6, respectively. Example recipe and layer's priority can be specified through the command line.
