If all the postinsts were successfully run in offline mode, and package-management hasn't been requested as an IMAGE_FEATURE, the opkg metadata is now redundant and can safely be deleted. Also, the update-rc.d and base-passwd packages can be removed since they will serve no further purpose in this situation. If some packages are still unconfigured at this point then we need to keep their metadata around so that either opkg or the awk script can configure the packages at boot time. In theory it would be possible to strip out the data for packages that have already been configured, but right now we just hold on to the whole status file in that situation.

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
