documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-start.xml: re-write of meta-intel
The section describing how to set up meta-intel has been re-written to provide more information about this Git repository and why it is important. Also, added information explaining why user should use the same set up method (tarball or Git repo) as used to set up the YP files tree. Reported-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca> (From yocto-docs rev: 53fbfc59f0183a6b8474ed643302faffef79356b) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
