The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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

dosfstools: Use standard fsck exit codes

2025-07-01T07:49:37+00:00

This commit brings in `dosfstools` patches to make `fsck.vfat` exit codes adhere to the standard exit codes defined by `fsck`. See [1]. These will fix the interaction of `fsck.vfat` with other tools like `systemd-fsck` which expect the exit codes to be in line with the standard [2]. However, as of today the dosfstools maintainer(s) are invisible for over a year [3]. Thus, if upstream ever becomes active again, these patches should be reassessed.

dosfstools: add backported patch for honouring SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

2024-11-19T11:26:24+00:00

Currently, file system images created with mkfs.vfat are not reproducible, because both the file system creation time and the volume id are derived from the current time. Upstream has added a patch for deriving those from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, when defined, many years ago, but unfortunately there is no official release containing that patch. The issue [1] is 2.5 years old, so there's no reason to believe such a release would be just around the corner. The patch applies cleanly, and e.g. Arch Linux already uses this exact combination of source tarball and this single patch [2], so I think this should be ok. It certainly works for the images I've tested on.

meta/meta-selftest/meta-skeleton: Update LICENSE variable to use SPDX license identifiers

2022-02-20T16:45:25+00:00

An automated conversion using scripts/contrib/convert-spdx-licenses.py to convert to use the standard SPDX license identifiers. Two recipes in meta-selftest were not converted as they're that way specifically for testing. A change in linux-firmware was also skipped and may need a more manual tweak.

Convert to new override syntax

2021-08-02T14:44:10+00:00

This is the result of automated script conversion: scripts/contrib/convert-overrides.py converting the metadata to use ":" as the override character instead of "_". (From OE-Core rev: 42344347be29f0997cc2f7636d9603b1fe1875ae) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dosfstools: Build --without-iconv

2021-03-02T20:39:35+00:00

The new version has an internal CP850 conversion table, hence it doesn't need iconv anymore (and currently errors when trying). (From OE-Core rev: 647cd1134a543406f0f741d3f83d5f5ce78bcd0f) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dosfstools: update 4.1 -> 4.2

2021-03-02T14:15:33+00:00

udev support had been dropped upstream. The tools now have internal locale support so the glibc locale dependencies can be dropped. (From OE-Core rev: 01bb6e133e9b06c848d864b0581efc50020625bf) Signed-off-by: Alexander Kanavin Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dosfstools: add mkfs.vfat to ALTERNATIVE

2020-11-08T14:03:20+00:00

The mkfs.vfat tool can also be provided by busybox via the CONFIG_MKFS_VFAT configuration (not enabled by default in OE but can be enabled on systems avoiding components based on GPLv3).
