Copy the contents of local.conf under TOPDIR into the final generated local.conf. In this way, custom settings are also made into the final local.conf like IMAGE_INSTALL, DISTRO_FEATURES, VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_xxx, etc. Comments and blank lines are filtered out. Before this change, installing extensible SDK would usually report failure when preparing the build system if the user has custom configuration for DISTRO_FEATURES in local.conf. Also, items in IMAGE_INSTALL_append in local.conf also don't get built correctly. This patch solves the above problem by making use of bb.utils.edit_metadata. In addition, we check to avoid any setting that might lead to host paths bleeding into the SDK's configuration. Basically, variables with values starting with '/' are removed. A whitelist mechanism is introduced so that users could specify variables that should not be ignored. The name of the whitelist is SDK_LOCAL_CONF_WHITELIST. The SDK_META_CONF_WHITELIST is removed as it's of no use after this change. SDK_LOCAL_CONF_BLACKLIST can be used to prevent copying specific variable settings to the extensible SDK's local.conf; the default is to exclude PRSERV_HOST (since this is likely to be internal). Similarly, SDK_INHERIT_BLACKLIST to forbit local.conf in SDK to inherit certain classes such as 'buildhistory' or 'icecc' that would not normally make sense in an SDK environment.

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
=====================
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer),
patches against the various components should be sent to their respective
upstreams:
bitbake:
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation:
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp):
Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp)
Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in
doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of
oe-core and poky-specific files.
