poky: reset subtree on master HEAD(a88251b3e7)
As part of the last subtree update, I used master-next as the
subtree basis because there was a fix we needed in order to get QEMU
to pass. I didn't realize that master-next deviated (because they use
to just have short-term patches in it). Reset the content to the same
fix but from the master branch.

+ipk packaging changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ipk packaging (using ``opkg``) now uses ``zstd`` compression instead of ``xz``
+for better compression and performance. This does mean that ``.ipk`` packages
+built using the 5.0 release requires Opkg built with zstd enabled --- naturally
+this is the case in 5.0, but at least by default these packages will not be
+usable on older systems where Opkg does not have zstd enabled at build time.
+
+Additionally, the internal dependency solver in Opkg is now deprecated --- it
+is still available in this release but will trigger a warning if selected.
+The default has been the external ``libsolv`` solver for some time, but if you
+have explicitly removed that from :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` for Opkg to
+select the internal solver, you should plan to switch to ``libsolv`` in the
+near future (by including ``libsolv`` your custom :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` value
+for Opkg, or reverting to the default value).
+
+
+motd message when using ``DISTRO = "poky"``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The default ``poky`` :term:`DISTRO` is explicitly a *reference* distribution
+for testing and development purposes. It enables most hardware and software
+features so that they can be tested, but this also means that
+from a security point of view the attack surface is very large.
+
+We encourage anyone using the Yocto Project for production use to create
+their own distribution and not use Poky. To encourage this behaviour
+further, in 5.0 a warning has been added to ``/etc/motd`` when Poky is used
+so that the developer will see it when they log in. If you are creating your
+own distribution this message will not show up.
+
+For information on how to create your own distribution, see
+":ref:`dev-manual/custom-distribution:creating your own distribution`".

Miscellaneous changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- ``bitbake-whatchanged`` script was removed.
+- ``bitbake-whatchanged`` script was removed as it was broken and unmaintained.
+
+- ``scripts/sstate-cache-management.sh`` has been replaced by
+ ``scripts/sstate-cache-management.py``, a more performant Python-based version.
+
+- The ``bmap-tools`` recipe has been renamed to ``bmaptool``.
+
+- ``gpgme`` has had Python binding support disabled since upstream does not
+ support Python 3.12 yet. This will be fixed in future once it is fixed upstream.)
+
+- A warning will now be shown if the ``virtual/`` prefix is used in runtime
+ contexts (:term:`RDEPENDS` / :term:`RPROVIDES`) ---
+ See :ref:`virtual-slash <qa-check-virtual-slash>` for details.
+
+- ``recipetool`` now prefixes the names of recipes created for Python modules
+ with ``python3-``.
+
+- The :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` class no longer produces a warning for
+ remote patches --- it only logs a note and does not try to fetch the patch
+ in order to scan it for issues or CVE numbers. However, CVE number
+ references in remote patch file names will now be picked up.
+
+- The values of :term:`PE` and :term:`PR` have been dropped from
+ ``-f{file,macro,debug}-prefix-map``, in order to avoid unnecessary churn
+ in debugging symbol paths when the version is bumped. This is unlikely to
+ cause issues, but if you are paying attention to the debugging source path
+ (e.g. in recipes that need to manipulate these files during packaging) then
+ you will notice the difference. A new :term:`TARGET_DBGSRC_DIR` variable is
+ provided to make this easier.
+
- ``ccache`` no longer supports FORTRAN.
