When running bitbake -c populate_sdk <image_name>, it is expected that
packages matching SDKIMAGE_INSTALL_COMPLEMENTARY name mask (unless
declared in PACKAGE_EXCLUDE_COMPLEMENTARY) are installed to resulting
SDK. Underlying mechanism issues a package manager install call for set
of complementary packages. However the mechanism doesn't seem to inform
the user all too obviously in case the package manager command behind
install_complementary() method fails -- and since it is combined with
attempt_only=True option, user might end up wondering why several *-dev,
*-dbg packages are missing from resulting SDK.
Improve associated install() method behaviour in affected OpkgPM and
DpkgPM classes so that a problematic state of affairs becomes directly
obvious for bitbake user, resulting in shell output like:
WARNING: someimage-1.0-r0 do_populate_sdk: Unable to install packages.
Command '...' returned 1:
Collected errors:
* Solver encountered 1 problem(s):
* Problem 1/1:
* - package somepkg-dev-1.0-r0.x86 requires somepkg = 1.0-r0, but
none of the providers can be installed
*
* Solution 1:
* - allow deinstallation of someotherpkg-1.1-r1.x86
* - do not ask to install a package providing somepkg-dev
* Solution 2:
* - do not ask to install a package providing somepkg-dev

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.
