* bitbake: bitbake: Add explict getVar param for (non) expansionRichard Purdie2015-06-231-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than just use d.getVar(X), use the more explict d.getVar(X, False) since at some point in the future, having the default of expansion would be nice. This is the first step towards that. This patch was mostly made using the command: sed -e 's:\(getVar([^,()]*\)\s*):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVar *` (Bitbake rev: 659ef95c9b8aced3c4ded81c48bcc0fbde4d429f) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | I added text to separate this example code from the general BitBake User Manual's spirit of standing alone and away from YP or OE stuff. Also, added another space to move the examples code so that 5 spaces are used for literal indentation.

Comment from Scott: I modified the example description to indicate that it is from an OpenEmbedded metadata-based recipe (i.e from YP). We have been trying very hard to keep the BitBake User Manual as separate as possible from the YP docs.

BitBake does not expand this character like the shell does. We recommend to not use it in pathnames.

* bitbake: doc: Rename user-manual -> bitbake-user-manualRichard Purdie2014-04-211-0/+1638
This manual gets combined with other manuals and in that context, it helps a lot if its seen as the Bitbake User Manual. Renames are a pain but this is worthwhile so that other docs can correctly be combined with this one. This also clarifies things like google search results which is helpful.
