Currently, bitbake will accept variables in the forms: X = 1 X = '1 \ X = "1" X = '1' which will all set X=1. This patch removes the first two possibilities and makes quoting mandatory. There is little metadata out there which doesn't quote properly and bitbake will exit with an error about the exact line number and file with any problem so users can easily identify and fix issues. OE-Core has already been checked/fixed. The motivation for this is being able to give sane errors if a user does something like: IMAGE_INSTALL += # tslib mtd-utils" which currently gives a really nasty failure.

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/community/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.
