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>

25 Features provide a mechanism for working out which packages
26 should be included in the generated images.
27 Distributions can select which features they want to support through the
28 <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-DISTRO_FEATURES" title="DISTRO_FEATURES">DISTRO_FEATURES</a></code>
29 variable, which is set in the <code class="filename">poky.conf</code> distribution configuration file.
30 Machine features are set in the
31 <code class="filename"><a class="link" href="ref-variables-glos.html#var-MACHINE_FEATURES" title="MACHINE_FEATURES">MACHINE_FEATURES</a></code>
32 variable, which is set in the machine configuration file and
33 specifies the hardware features for a given machine.
34 </p>
35<p>
36 These two variables combine to work out which kernel modules,
37 utilities, and other packages to include.
38 A given distribution can support a selected subset of features so some machine features might not
39 be included if the distribution itself does not support them.
40 </p>
41<p>
42 One method you can use to determine which recipes are checking to see if a
43 particular feature is contained or not is to <code class="filename">grep</code> through
44 the metadata for the feature.
45 Here is an example that discovers the recipes whose build is potentially
46 changed based on a given feature:
47 </p>
48<pre class="literallayout">
49 $ cd $HOME/poky
50 $ git grep 'contains.*MACHINE_FEATURES.*&lt;feature&gt;'
51 </pre>
52<p>
53 </p>
54<p>
55 This chapter provides a reference of shipped machine and distro features
56 you can include as part of the image, a reference on image types you can
57 build, and a reference on feature backfilling.
