YOCTO #1088: documentation - Added text to partially address package bug
This bug was filed by Gary Thomas and was requesting more information on the "hows" and "whys" of setting up your own package repositories. At this point, I have added information to help the user understand build performance issues when choosing between the RPM and IPKG packaging systems. Likely, there is more that needs to be added to fully address this bug. For now, I added explanations in the packaging class and glossary areas of the YP reference manual, a new paragraph in the YP QS just prior to firing off a build, and a new bit of information in the configuring PMS in the ADT Manual.
