The previous steps taken to address races over the aclocal macro directory and the removal of files hasn't been sufficient since aclocal still looks at that directory as part of its default search path. This patch passes the aclocal-copy directory into aclocal as its system directory, removing any chance of it accessing the original aclocal directory. Hopefully this should therefore fix the race issues once and for all. In order to do this, cp-noerror needs to not error if the directory already exists. Its also been noticed that aclocal defaults to using STAGING_DATADIR_NATIVE even when building for the target. Only using the target directory would cause errors such as missing pkgconfig macros (since we only depend on pkgconfig-native, not pkgconfig). This patch processes both sets of macros maintaining existing behaviour. At a future date we could look into potentially optimsing this.

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.
