![]() The code was changing the timestamps of the files in the do_package output, particularly the files added for debug sources. This was to do two things: a) make do_package sstate more reproducible b) ensure better hash equivalence matching Unfortuately the debug source files are hardlinks into the source tree for efficiency so touching these, touches a lot of files in ${B} and ${S}. This causes unpredictable effects if compile is run again for example, or could cause compiling in the install task. The hash equivalence matching is of key importance but we can mimic that using clamping of the file timestamps in the depsig output used to generate the hashes. This patch drops the global timestamp clamping, instead allowing the files to retain their creation timestamps into sstate. This makes do_package sstate slightly less reproducibile. We could clamp the sstate timestamps but that would lead to two different sets of timestamps depending on whether the data came from sstate or not. I'd prefer to have consistent code behaviour, rather than differing behavhour depending on whether data came from sstate or not. If we wanted to have reproducibiliy and fix the "corruption" of S/B and have consistent codepaths, the only other option would be two copies of the sources, which could end up huge and seems the least desireable option. This patch therefore drops the timestamp clamping in the sstate files and tweaks the depsig data generation to clamp the timestamps for do_package instead since this seems the best compromise. I validated that rpm/deb/ipk files still generate correctly as before.

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.
