Previously, if CONFIG_FEATURE_INDIVIDUAL was enabled for busybox, yocto-based systems could start correctly. This is because if busybox is built as individual apps, '/bin/busybox' may not be present, so setting the default ALTERNATIVE_TARGET to '/bin/busybox' is not appropriate and could lead to errors. This patch fixes this problem by checking the existence of '/bin/busybox' before setting the ALTERNATIVE_TARGET to '/bin/busybox'. After this change, if busybox is built as individual apps, we'll have links like '/bin/ls -> /bin/ls.busybox', otherwise, we'll have links like '/bin/ls -> /bin/busybox'. Note there's a grep expression change in this patch. The old expression doesn't work well, it has an unwanted underscore, so I changed it to make it work.

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.
