Allow splitting the local parts of the configuration (mostly local_repo_dir and last_revision, although there is no limitation) to a side-by-side -local.conf file, with component sections optionally tagged with the combo layer branch name. This effectively allows you to: * avoid polluting the history by committing the updated last revision to the combo repository for every update * avoid putting local repo paths into the combo repository * manage multiple branches of the combo repository whilst avoiding the possibility of mixing the configuration for one branch with another. An example split configuration (note, values may be artificial): ------------------- combo-layer.conf ------------------- [bitbake] src_uri = git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake dest_dir = bitbake hook = scripts/combo-layer-hook-default.sh [oe-core] src_uri = git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core dest_dir = . hook = scripts/combo-layer-hook-default.sh -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- combo-layer-local.conf ---------------- [bitbake] local_repo_dir = ../repos/bitbake [oe-core] local_repo_dir = ../repos/oe-core [bitbake|master] branch = master last_revision = db689a99beffea1a285cdfc74a58fe73f1666987 [oe-core|master] branch = master last_revision = 121a1499a81706366acc0081272a6bff634d4d62 [bitbake|denzil] branch = 1.12 last_revision = 24b631acdaa143a4de39c6e1328849660c66f219 [oe-core|denzil] branch = denzil last_revision = 741146fa90f28f7ce8d82ee7f7e254872d519724 -------------------------------------------------------- It is assumed that the local config file will be added to .gitignore.

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 = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
