The 'and' logic for the check is wrong. To make things clear, please see the example below. Say that we have a recipe A, which has a sysv-init style init script named initA and no corresponding service file. The recipe inherits update-rc.d, but it doesn't inherit systemd.bbclass. The DISTRO_FEATURES has 'systemd' inside it, but it doesn't have 'sysvinit'. Now if we build an image, with the 'and' logic in the check, the symlinks for initA would not be installed into /etc/rc?.d directory. This is incorrect. Because there's no corresponding service. The symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/ should be created so that the service would be correctly started at boot time. The logic should really be 'or' in the check. This is actually what the code was when it was originally written. Several different situations are listed below to prove the correctness of the 'or' logic. If 'sysvinit' is in DISTRO_FEATURES, the initA script would always be installed with corresponding preisnt/postinst generated and added. If 'sysvinit' is not in DISTRO_FEATURES, we have three situations. 1) A has initA and A.service. In such situation, systemd.bbclass would set INHIBIT_UPDATERCD_BBCLASS, so no preinst/postinst about update-rc.d would be added and the symlinks for initA would not be created. 2) A has initA, and the functionality of initA is not implemented internally in systemd. In such situation, symlinks for initA would be installed. 3) A has initA, and the functionality of initA is implemented internally in systemd or in some other recipe. Examples for such situation are alsa-state and keymaps in OE. In such situation, we need to set INHIBIT_UPDATERCD_BBCLASS in the recipe so that there would be no preinst/postinst scripts about update-rc.d added.

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 = "nodistro") 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.
