The recent preveeding sstate directory layout fixes made the code do what it was originally intended to do, as can be clearly seen from the code. Unfortunately this changed the contents and layout of the sstate files themselves since the bug was leading to a directory prefix being missing. This is now resulting in chaotic messages on the console since things are getting confused with the two different layouts. The simplest way to resolve this is to bump the version number, hence moving the new layout into its own new namespace. Its worth noting that whilst the failure messages are scary, the failure mode is relatively harmless since it will just fall back to building the data rather than installing from sstate. Usually I'd give more notice of a change like this but under the circumstances, I'm just going to push this in to resolve the failures people are seeing. Initially I thought the problem was limited to some of the -cross packages and therefore of low impact but that is clearly not the case.

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.
