The new do_bundle_initramfs task introduced in
609d5a9ab9e58bb1c2bcc2145399fbc8b701b85a defeats using the sstate
cache. The kernel is resurrected from the sstate cache but ends up being
built again since do_bundle_initramfs depends on do_compile.
The task is no longer nostamp to avoid causing unnecessary rebuilds. The
sstate checksum stamps should know when to rebuild.
The task now runs before do_deploy and part of the work has been moved to
do_deploy where it now writes to ${DEPLOYDIR} rather than
${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE} so that the files end up in sstate.
The task can also race against do_install since both call into the kernel
build system. This is fixed by making do_bundle_initramfs run after
do_install (which therefore also fixes the problem that
3baa63b4d588c3262254528b406ede265dd117bf was addressing.)

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 = "") 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, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most 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. 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.
