b4[1] is a very nice tool for mail-based contribution. A config[2] file exists to set up a few defaults. We can use it to provide the Cc and To recipient list for the series. This uses the b4-wrapper-poky.py script for checking that each patch in the series is only for one project. Indeed, poky is actually a "collection" of multiple repositories, namely BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core and the Yocto Docs. One patch should therefore not make changes in multiple of those projects otherwise it cannot be merged. Additionally, a check is added to make sure that a series only touches files from one project to avoid having to figure out which patch is to be merged by which maintainer in which project repo. Moreover, it is not uncommon to have people develop patches for those projects from within poky. This wrapper figures out which mailing lists to send patches to based on the files that are modified in the series. Considering that patches to the bitbake/doc/ directory need to be sent to both the bitbake and yocto-docs mailing list (To recipient for the former, Cc recipient for the latter) this wrapper handles that. A limitation of the script (lsdiff actually) is that it doesn't know how to handle empty files, but those should be of rather rare occurrences. Note that this script requires hardcoding of paths that are handled by different projects to map files to projects. Anything not mapped is assumed part of OE-Core.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for 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 BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.
Contribution Guidelines
Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.
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:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
