We are currently getting build failures of projects that rely on being able to access DirectFB's internal include directories, as returned via pkg-config, since the include paths returned by pkg-config are incomplete. The reason for that is the patch that is being removed with this change. It modified the cflags returned by pkg-config in an incorrect way, causing us to miss important include paths: For reference, pkg-config output with incorrect patch applied: ad@bril0118 #513 ~> pkg-config --cflags directfb-internal -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -I<builddir>/tmp/sysroots/<machine>/usr/include/directfb -I<builddir>/tmp/sysroots/<machine>/usr/include Now, with the incorrect patch removed, the output is as expected: ad@bril0118 #514 ~> pkg-config --cflags directfb-internal -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -I<builddir>/tmp/sysroots/<machine>/usr/include/directfb-internal -I<builddir>/tmp/sysroots/<machine>/usr/include/directfb Overall, the removed patch is not needed - pkg-config does the right thing these days and we can simply use the correctly working upstream versions of all DirectFB .pc 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 = "") 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.
