* bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Created unique tags for glossary variables.Scott Rifenbark2018-12-271-211/+211
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #12399] The bug was to get the BitBake User Manual into the YP Mega-manual. All the changes here create unique tags used with variables in the BitBake Manual. Prior to the fix, tags were identical between like variables in the YP reference manual and the BitBake User Manual. The reason for this is because when I created the BitBake manual's glossary, it was a cut-and-paste operation to get the bulk of the work started. At the time, the BitBake User Manual was not a part of the Mega-manual. Once we decided to include the BitBake User Manual as part of the Mega-Manual, building the mega-manual produced warnings for all these duplicate links. To fix, I have updated the variable tags in the BitBake User Manual to use the following form: 'var-bb-<variable_name>' The tags used in the YP ref-manual follow this form (original): 'var-<variable_name>' (Bitbake rev: fb6de2057aae3fbdf37f007d2e47794b332020e1) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | The BBMULTICONFIG variable is a variable used for BitBake and was not documented in the BitBake Manual glossary. I added the definition. I also added the variable to the example in the section describing how to execute builds for multiple configurations.

* bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR variable descriptionScott Rifenbark2017-06-151-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Just discovered a minor issue in the bitbake manual - under the variable glossary entry for BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR we say there's a default value of ${COREBASE} but that's not actually true in bitbake itself - there's no default in bitbake, that default is set in OE-Core. We can keep this in the YP ref manual but in the bitbake manual that sentence should be removed.

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.
