Relase notes: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/10.0/ The checksum of the LICENSE file changed due to some clarifications. There were no changes to the actual licensing terms. The LICENSE variable was not accurate, so I made changes to it. Specifically: * there's no GPL code in PulseAudio so I dropped GPL from the list * the LGPL code allows using later versions of the license rather than limiting to just 2.1 * there are some MIT and BSD licensed bits I added more files to LIC_FILES_CHKSUM to have better coverage of all the differently licensed code. Dropped json-c and gdbm from DEPENDS. The new release doesn't use json-c any more. gdbm isn't used when --with-database=simple is passed to configure, so it should have been removed from DEPENDS a long time ago. The new release dropped the Xen module, so the --without-xen configure option isn't needed any more. Added a comment for why --without-fftw is used. Disabled the adrian echo canceller, because it has an unusual license, and disabling the code was simpler than adding a new license to OE-Core. Dropped upstreamed patches.

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-poky, 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.
