When no --size is specified for the rootfs in the .wks, we want to obey the rootfs size from the metadata, otherwise the defined IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE and IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR will not be obeyed. In some cases, this can result in image construction failure, if the size determined by du was insufficient to hold the files without the aforementioned extra space. This fallback from --size to ROOTFS_SIZE was already implemented when --rootfs-dir is specified in the .wks, but it did not occur otherwise, neither when --rootfs-dir= was passed to `wic create` nor when IMAGE_ROOTFS was used. This made a certain amount of sense, as this fallback logic happened at such a level that it wasn't able to identify which partitions were rootfs partitions otherwise. Rather than doing it at that level, we can do it in prepare_rootfs(), which is run by the rootfs source plugins. Note that IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR and a --overhead-factor in the .wks will now both be applied when --size isn't specified in the .wks. A warning is added about this, though a user won't see it unless wic fails or they examine the do_image_wic log.

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.
