Richard Purdie 7ebbd68f0f license/license_image: Fix license file layout to avoid overlapping files
Currently DEPLOY_DIR/licenses is added to SSTATE_ALLOW_OVERLAP_FILES. This
leads to bugs since when one MACHINE_ARCH recipes is cleaned, it removes the
files for another which then results in later build failures as license files
disappear.

The solution is to include SSTAGE_PKGARCH in the path names to the license files.
That does mean a search has to be used to find the correct license files for a
given PN but that can be done via SSTATE_ARCHS.

The implication for other tools is the layout has changed so tools will need to
adapt to the new paths. The benefit is no more strange build failures such as from
patterns like:

MACHINE=qemux86-64 bitbake core-image-minimal
MACHINE=genericx86-64 bitbake core-image-minimal
MACHINE=qemux86-64 bitbake linux-yocto -c clean
MACHINE=genericx86-64 bitbake core-image-minimal -C rootfs

[YOCTO #14123]

For anyone finding this commit, I'd question how much people should be relying on
this code for tooling and suggest the SPDX manifests should be the preferred data
format going forward anyway.

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.

Contribution Guidelines

Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.

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/):

BitBake (files in bitbake/):

Documentation (files in documentation/):

meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):

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.
