See release notes at - http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/opkg/opkg-0.8.0.release-notes [0.8.0] - 2025-01-10 The minor version bump in this release is due to the changes to cURL error output line format. - [Changed](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=ab03377868256427279b36c4b2a298edae4260b8) the error output for the curl download backend, to now report the HTTP error code for failed requests. - e.g. `error: log_curl_download_error: Failed to download headers of https://foo.bar/all/Packages.gz: The requested URL returned error: 401` - Enabling debug-verbosity, while using the cURL backend, [will now](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=ce6fede3db931bb0da70d1334cdc4101d0aec702) print cURL's verbose error log to stderr when there is a download failure. - The verbose output may contain confidential information about your cURL transactions. So this is your reminder that debug-verbosity should not be enabled in production systems or sensitive security environments. - The commandline configuration file option (`-f`) [can now](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=36d08b93d2859992b624a4ba2f412cfa5c766050) be specified multiple times, and each configuration file will be loaded and their settings merged. - [Fixed](https://git.yoctoproject.org/opkg/commit/?id=c87188d7535684fddb8cf80993c147b215602b63) a bug in control field parsing where custom fields whose keys are similar to other fields could be confused by the parser.

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

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.
