The hello-mod recipe is unusual in that it has only local files in
SRC_URI and builds these out of ${WORKDIR}. When you use devtool modify
on it, devtool puts all of those files in an "oe-local-files"
subdirectory of the source tree, which is not ${S} (or ${B}) any more
and thus building the recipe afterwards fails. It's a bit of a hack, but
symlink the files in oe-local-files into the source tree (and commit the
symlinks with an ignored commit so that the repo is clean) to work
around the problem. We only do this at time of extraction, so any files
added to or removed from oe-local-files after that won't be handled, but
I think there's a limit to how far we should go to support these kinds
of recipes - ultimately they are anomalies.
I initially tried a hacky workaround where I set effectively set B =
"${WORKDIR}" and that allowed it to build, but other things such as the
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM checks still broke because they expected to find files
in ${S}. Another hack where I set the sourcetree to point to the
oe-local-files subdirectory works for hello-mod but not for makedevs
since whilst that is similar, unlike hello-mod it does in fact have
files in the source tree (since it has a patch that adds COPYING) and
thus the same issue occurred.
Also tweak one of the tests that tries devtool modify / update-recipe on
the makedevs recipe to try building it since that would have caught this
issue.
Fixes [YOCTO #10616].

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/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
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:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
