* extract: Copy all local source files (i.e. non-compressed/non-arcived SRC_URI files that have file:// URI prefix) - excluding patches - to the srctree repository. The files will be placed in a subdirectory called 'oe-local-files'. The oe-local-files directory is not committed to the Git repository, but, marked to be ignored by a .gitignore file. The developer can manually add and commit the files to Git if the changes to them need to be tracked. Before this patch, local source files (were copied (and committed) to the srctree repository only in some special cases (basically when S=WORKDIR) when doing devtool-extract. For most of the packages local files were not copied at all. * update-recipe: This patch causes the local files to be 'synced' from the srctree (i.e. from the 'oe-local-files' subdirectory) to the layer. Being 'synced' means that in addition to copying modified files over the original sources, devtool will also handle removing and adding local source files and updating the recipe accordingly. We don't want to create patches against the local source files but rather update them directly. Thus, 'oe-local-file' directory is ignored in patch generation when doing update-recipe, even if committed to Git. This functionality is only enabled if the 'oe-local-files' directory is present in srctree.

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.
