Adding distcc to an image, and having staticids enabled, doesn't work as it causes a a superfluous 'distcc' group being added using a conflicting GID, thus failing the build: | ERROR: distcc-3.2-r0 do_prepare_recipe_sysroot: distcc: groupadd command did not succeed. Compared to other recipes, the distcc recipe only specifies --gid for the primary group, and doesn't specify --no-user-group, but when --gid is given, it doesn't make sense to create a matching username-group in addition, even if --no-user-group was not specified, and 'useradd' actually complains if --gid and --user-group are given both. If only --gid is given, the current code in here effectively behaves as if --user-group was specified, taking the group-id of the username-group from the --gid parameter. This causes the error above, as we try to add a new group (distcc) with an existing group-id (nogroup). This is contrary to the comment in this file just above, contrary to what useradd can do, contrary to behaviour without the useradd-staticids bbclass, and non-intuitive. Change the code such that a username-group is only created - if a primary group using --gid was not specified, or - if --no-user-group was not specified To be in line with useradd, if gid is not given, and --no-user-group is given, we add the user to the group 'users', which mimics useradd's behaviour.

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.
