Create a new build output history reporting class, using testlab.bbclass from meta-oe and packagehistory.bbclass as a base. This records information from packages and images output from the build process in text files structured suitably for tracking within a git repository, thus enabling monitoring of changes over time. Build history collection can be enabled simply by adding the following to your local.conf: INHERIT += "buildhistory" The output after a build can then be found in BUILDHISTORY_DIR (defaults to TMPDIR/buildhistory). If you set up this directory as a git repository and set BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT to "1" in local.conf, the build history data will be committed on every build.

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
