The OE metadata has cases where it needs to prevent some setscene functions from running. An example of this is where we know a task is going to run do_configure (which would clean out do_populate_sysroot) and hence we don't want do_populate_sysroot_setscene to run. This change adds in a hook so that the metadata can allow any such policy decision to filter back up to bitbake. It removes the existing code which attempted to do this in a generic way but failed.

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/community/documentation
