Gyorgy Sarvari 434d647efa dpkg: add ptest support
Added it to slow tests, as it takes betwen 165 and 190 seconds on my
machine to execute (qemux86-64 + kvm).

The test folder's Makefile contains a list of passing, failing and manual
tests. By default, only the expected-to-pass tests are executed by the
Makefile (unless magic environment variable is set).

The run-ptest script mimics the default behavior of executing the
expected-to-pass tests, however they are executed one by one, instead of
running them as one batch - that way it is easier to determine exactly
which tests pass and which fail.

One other thing that might worth a note, is that the tests folder that needs to be
installed contains a number of subfolders called "DEBIAN". When packaging them
at least with rpm, these folders are omitted from the package.
However these are essential for the tests, as they contain test data. As a
workaround, these folders are renamed during installation to DEBIAN-ptest,
and before execution the run-ptest script restores their names.

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/):

BitBake (files in bitbake/):

Documentation (files in documentation/):

meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):

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.
