documentation: Part 1 of 2 updates to integrating docs to Eclipse help.
Hi, the generation of eclipse help files has been merged from the timo branch to the master. Since the creation of the timo branch there have been some changes to the master branch (e.g. new documentation, renamed documentation). This patch set does some cleanup for the renamed documentation and adds eclipse help generation support to the new documentation. 01: Removes the 'the' from the document titles 02..04: Cleanup obsolete artifacts resulting from the merge 05..08: Add eclipse help generation for ref-manual 09..13: Add eclipse help generation for kernel-dev 14..18: Add eclipse help generation for profile-manual Best regards, Timo This patch set originally contained 18 patches. I (Scott Rifenbark) had to push these changes as two parts. This is the first part. It does not include creation of the three cusomization files. (From yocto-docs rev: 9b1889f6e31ee70dae704fa08763fb9196616dad) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

16 A build's quality can be influenced by many things.
17 For example, if you upgrade a recipe to use a new version of an upstream software
18 package or you experiment with some new configuration options, subtle changes
19 can occur that you might not detect until later.
20 Consider the case where your recipe is using a newer version of an upstream package.
21 In this case, a new version of a piece of software might introduce an optional
22 dependency on another library, which is auto-detected.
23 If that library has already been built when the software is building,
24 then the software will link to the built library and that library will be pulled
25 into your image along with the new software even if you did not want the
26 library.
27 </p>
28<p>
29 The <code class="filename">buildhistory</code> class exists to help you maintain
30 the quality of your build output.
31 You can use the class to highlight unexpected and possibly unwanted
32 changes in the build output.
33 When you enable build history it records information about the contents of
34 each package and image and then commits that information to a local Git
35 repository where you can examine the information.
