We get below host contamination warnings of license files for
each recipe, when we try to create a separate ${PN}-lic package (which
contains license files), by setting LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE equal to "1"
in local.conf.
-- snip --
WARNING: QA Issue: libcgroup: /libcgroup-lic/usr/share/licenses/libcgroup/generic_LGPLv2.1 is owned by uid 5001, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]
WARNING: QA Issue: attr: /attr-lic/usr/share/licenses/attr/libattr.c is owned by uid 5001, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]
WARNING: QA Issue: bash: /bash-lic/usr/share/licenses/bash/COPYING is owned by uid 5001, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]
-- CUT --
Since the license files from source and OE-core, are populated in a normal
shell environment rather in pseudo environment (fakeroot); the ownership of
these files will be same as host user running bitbake. During the do_package
task (which runs in pseudo environment (fakeroot)), os.link preserves the
ownership of these license files as host user instead of root user.
This causes license files to have UID same as host user id and resulting in
above warnings during do_package_qa task.
Changing ownership of license files to root user (which has UID and GID as 0)
under pseudo environment will solve above warnings, and on exiting pseudo
environment the license files will continue to be owned by host user. Perform
this manipulation within try/except statements, as tasks which are not exected
under pseudo (such as do_populate_lic) result in OSError when trying to
change ownership of license files.

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.
