Distribution Support

The poky.conf file tracks all the distros supported by the Yocto Project. (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta-poky/conf/distro/poky.conf) The supported, and subsequently sanity tested, distros are listed in the "SANITY_TEST_DISTROS" section in poky.conf. Each supported distro is deployed and used as a Yocto Autobuilder build worker. For more information on supported distros, please refer to the "Supported Linux Distributions" section in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.

Example of distro list in poky.conf:

SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS ?= " \
            poky-2.4 \n \
            poky-2.5 \n \
            ubuntu-15.04 \n \
            ubuntu-16.04 \n \
            ubuntu-16.10 \n \
            ubuntu-17.04 \n \
            fedora-26 \n \
            centos-7 \n \
            debian-8 \n \
            debian-9 \n \
            opensuse-42.1 \n \
            opensuse-42.2 \n \
            "

Again, this is just an example, not meant to be a definitive reference.

How to add a new entry or additional distro information

• Check if there is already a distribution listed on this page
• If there is no such distribution, you could add a new entry in above matrix for the distribution and add following information in the sub-page of this entry:

* Distribution (Fedora15/Ubuntu10.04/Opensuse11.4... etc):
* Arch (32/64):
* MACHINE (qemux86/qemuarm/qemuppc... etc):
* TARGET (core-image-sato/core-image-sato-sdk... etc):
* Commit/Release (7eea637db0.../master, 1.0.1 release):
* Validated by/DATE (user@email.com - 2011-09-14):
* Bug ID: (If the status of your testing is failure, pls. help to file a bug in our bugzilla, http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org)

• If there is already a distribution in above matrix, it's better for you to check if your test result is consistent with the old result in matrix. You could update the "Status" field and add additional information with above format into sub-page of the distribution.

Distro Testing

Distro test coverage

Distro Testing is intended to catch bugs that are distribution specific using the yocto-autobuilder. The tests are all run on identical hardware and with all OS-es updated. The distributions used will be Fedora, Ubuntu, CentOS, OpenSuse with their latest update.
This is the list of the builds that are performed on Distro testing:
