Currently bitbake only adds files to its dependency list if they exist. If you add 'include foo.inc' to your recipe and the file doesn't exist, then later you add the file, the cache will not be invalidated. This leads to another bug which is that if files don't exist and then you add them and they should be found first due to BBPATH, again the cache won't invalidate. This patch adds in tracking of files we check for the existence of so that if they are added later, the cache correctly invalidates. This necessitated a new version of bb.utils.which which returns a list of files tested for. The patch also adds in checks for duplicate file includes and for now prints a warning about this. That will likely become a fatal error at some point since its never usually desired to include a file twice. The same issue is also fixed for class inheritance. Now when a class is added which would be found in the usual search path, it will cause the cache to be invalidated. Unfortunately this is old code in bitbake and the patch isn't the neatest since we have to work within that framework.

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.
