Yocto 1.0 Released
The Yocto Project is pleased to announce the general availability of the
Yocto Project 1.0 release. This release provides many improvements to the
build system, developer interface, and individual board support packages
(BSPs) with support for ARM, MIPS, PPC, x86, and x86_64 systems, including
virtual machines. The Yocto Project also announces the formation of the
Yocto Project Steering Group, a coalition of participating organizations
oriented toward leadership, governance, and outreach.
The Yocto Project Release 1.0 is based on Linux kernel 2.6.37 and consists
of the following new features:
- A new process for gathering, compiling and building from upstream
source code, enabling higher build reliability and a better user
interface experience.
- System toolchain bootstrapping and machine specific sysroot, allowing
for a better incremental build experience.
- Faster builds and better performance with speed improvements to bitbake.
- Updated GCC toolchain (v4.5.1).
- A new Application Development Toolkit (ADT) installer and Application
Development Guide are being introduced to improve the application
development tool experience and documentation.
- Updates to the X Windows System, improving security for target devices.
- Up-to-date and integrated open source Linux commands, libraries and
middleware.
- A layer that includes the latest release of the Linaro kernel and
toolchain for ARM processors, resulting in increased hardware
compatibility.

This looks very interesting, and may be just what I need for a potential project. I would be very interested in reading about any experiences anyone has had using Yocto.

i don't know what happened, after 7 hours it's still compiling for the base-image, note i downloaded the prebuilt toolchain to save time(which could be a few hours I guess)... this just takes too long on my core2duo 3GB ubuntu.
first time build needs download lots of packages, it's better to make a tarball for the release, that should save some download time, but still, the process is too long.

or, I also need 50GB-100GB for the compilation...

8 hours for a 77MB base image build, using prebuilt toolchain, too long indeed.
the default package format is rpm instead of ipk now,strangely.

so they claim not to be a Linux Distro, but they actually are, yes? I mean, that's what it seems after some reading...
I do find the screenshots of poky on http://www.pokylinux.org/about/ rather depressing... Well, actually, after having seen stuff like http://plasmanotmart.blip.tv/file/4613935/ it's funny :D
