The compilation routine for the kernel has an explicit call to
build version.h, which works fine for most kernels, but the
location of it has recently changes.
commit d183e6f5 [UAPI: Move linux/version.h]
commit 10b63956 [UAPI: Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user
header installation and checking]
moves the file to include/generated/linux/version.h and then to
include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h.
As a result kernel builds of 3.7 or bisection builds of intermediate
kernel commits will fail with:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `include/linux/version.h'. Stop.
Making the explicit version.h build conditional on the version, or
via a file test would fix the problem, but it introduces some complexity
to the build.
Even without an explicit call to build version.h, it is always produced
by the kernel build, so it can simply be removed.
This extra make line was originally so that the kernel version could be
determined, so that then different instructions could be executed depending
on whether it was a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. Since we no longer support 2.4, this
code is no longer needed.

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.
