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 Based on the generated list of providers and the dependency information,
17 BitBake can now calculate exactly what tasks it needs to run and in what
18 order it needs to run them.
19 The build now starts with BitBake forking off threads up to the limit set in the
20 <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-BB_NUMBER_THREADS" title="BB_NUMBER_THREADS">BB_NUMBER_THREADS</a></code> variable.
21 BitBake continues to fork threads as long as there are tasks ready to run,
22 those tasks have all their dependencies met, and the thread threshold has not been
23 exceeded.
24 </p>
25<p>
26 It is worth noting that you can greatly speed up the build time by properly setting
27 the <code class="filename">BB_NUMBER_THREADS</code> variable.
28 See the
29 "<a class="link" href="../yocto-project-qs/building-image.html" target="_self">Building an Image</a>"
30 section in the Yocto Project Quick Start for more information.
31 </p>
32<p>
33 As each task completes, a timestamp is written to the directory specified by the
34 <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-STAMP" title="STAMP">STAMP</a></code> variable (usually
35 <code class="filename">build/tmp/stamps/*/</code>).
36 On subsequent runs, BitBake looks at the <code class="filename">/build/tmp/stamps</code>
37 directory and does not rerun
38 tasks that are already completed unless a timestamp is found to be invalid.
39 Currently, invalid timestamps are only considered on a per
40 <code class="filename">.bb</code> file basis.
41 So, for example, if the configure stamp has a timestamp greater than the
42 compile timestamp for a given target, then the compile task would rerun.
43 Running the compile task again, however, has no effect on other providers
44 that depend on that target.
45 This behavior could change or become configurable in future versions of BitBake.

49 Some tasks are marked as "nostamp" tasks.
50 No timestamp file is created when these tasks are run.
51 Consequently, "nostamp" tasks are always rerun.
