gcc packages use a shared source directory, this causes an issue since the archiver will try to patch the same source several times (one for each gcc package), producing an error, the archiver class used stamp-base to check this, nonetheless our gcc packages no longer use stamp-base, they use gcc-shared instead, which is what broke this functionality. This patch adds a check to see whether or not the source should be patched, avoiding patching the source when it shouldn't. Also, we dont need to create multiple identical tarballs for all gcc packages, this patch fixes this and creates a single source tarball for gcc. When requesting patched sources, a race condition is created for linux-yocto tasks, unpack_and_patch is executed along with kernel_configme, which most of the time causes errors during configure, since kernel_configme task is specific to the kernel, simply modifying the tasks order by creating a dependency to kernel_configme was impossible, causing errors on all other packages that didnt use kernel_configme, this is fixed by creating a special case for the kernel, adding tasks with correct dependencies, avoiding the race condition and behaving the way it should for all other packages as well.

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.
