This (and 2.22) is a first release in many years. Rather than try to use upstream's absurdly overblown, incompatible build system (see below), I added a small-ish meson file. This means: - drop tweaks and dependency on cwautomacros as that is no longer used - drop patch as configure.ac has been rewritten, and the recipe is using meson anyway - drop --disable-iberty for the same reason In this realease, cwautomacros has been replaced by an equally custom, weird set of macros, written by 'which' maintainer: https://github.com/CarloWood/cwm4 - one effect of that is that autoreconf isn't happy with which's configure.ac and won't run; one is supposed to use a custom script instead: https://github.com/CarloWood/cwm4/blob/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh - alas, that script is not shipped in tarballs; the maintainer wants everyone to trust their 200k configure script (hello xz backdoor) - building from git (where the script exists) is not impossible, but that has no version tags All this 'special handling' for what, exactly? Five .c files to produce one single-function executable, and one manpage. Wich should all be in coreutils to begin with. GNU's attachment to autotools defies reason.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for 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 BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

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:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
