Bitbake now allows the umask to be specified per task. The following tasks will have a umask of 022 set by default: do_configure do_compile do_install do_package do_populate_sysroot do_rootfs do_configure and do_compile need a umask of 022 set because -many- recipes directly copy generated files out of recipe's build directory. Instead of fixing each existing and future recipe, it was shown to be much easier to just set the umask.

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
