In addition to Martin's comment, why isn't tiny using the standard poky
overrides?

poky-lsb and poky-bleeding do:

DISTROOVERRIDES = "poky"

or variants thereof. Shouldn't tiny be doing "poky-tiny:poky" or
something like that (I forget the right order)?

The above line suggests that poky-tiny was using the poky override but
stopped for some reason, otherwise the file would never have worked?

Cheers,
