* documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks.xml: Review commentsScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-42/+48
| | | | | | | | | | Applied the review comments from Paul Eggleton for the new section on "Understanding and Using Layers." (From yocto-docs rev: 6bf5854dd355afdbc01c4c4fb94a4062bd9eae20) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
* documentation/dev-manual: Re-org of topicsScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-212/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Several topics in the "Common Tasks" chapter really fit better in the "Newbie" chapter. I moved these sections out. I also combined information from the section on submitting changes from the "Common Tasks" and the "Newbie" chapter to live in the "Newbie" chapter only.

| | | | | | | | | | Added a new section on managing layers. This is a sub-section that completes the new layers section.

* documentation/dev-manual: New Layer section and metadata link anchorScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-89/+303
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The change to the dev-manual-newbie.xml file was minor. I added a link anchor for the term "metadata." The change to the dev-manual-common-tasks.xml was extensive. I have added an entirely new section on layers called "Understanding and Using Layers." The new material has several sub-sections. Information was based on emails from Paul Eggleton.

* documentation: Section change and cross-reference fixesScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | I renamed the "BitBake Layers" section in the YP Development Manual to "Understanding and Creating Layers." Renaming the section broke three cross-references in the YP documentation manual set. I applied fixes to the references.

* documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks.xml: Moved Layer sectionScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-116/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | The "BitBake Layers" section was grossly mis-positioned. It appeared in the "Making and Maintaining Changes" section. I have moved the layer section to the very front of this chapter. It is fundamental to know about layers and how to create your own custom layers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Added a new section on building from an external source tree. This addition was driven by a need through two community members whose feedback was picked up by Darren.

* documentation/dev-manual: Fixed YP Build Directory TermScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Throughout the manual there is a specific term to refer to the YP build directory: "Yocto Project Build Directory." This term was being loosely referred to and was not consisten in linking to the actual term definition in the Terms chapter. All this is fixed.

* documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks.xml: Review commentsScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | Had to back off a bit on the use of the term "working directory". Paul clarified that it was okay to use the term "temporary source code location" when talking about where the source code for a package was located.

* documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks.xml: re-write to 4.4Scott Rifenbark2012-03-081-87/+231
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Complete re-write to the "Modifying Temporary Source Code" section, Section 4.4. This strategy now comprises telling the user where this temporary source code is, how to change it within a Quilt workflow, and how to change it within a Git workflow. I consulted with Paul Eggleton quite a bit to come to this conclusion that the section needed more attention.

* documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks.xml: Combined sectionsScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-100/+115
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I combined the section on changing package source code and the section on changing package source code with quilt into one over-arching section named "Modifying Package Source Code." The section on Quilt was sort of a stand-alone section but Paul Eggleton suggested that it is a natural follow-on. So I put the two sections in as sub-sections.

The section consists of three sub-sections: "Using menuconfig", "Creating Config Fragments", and "Fine-tuning the Kernel Configuration File." Primary source for information on this section was Bruce Ashfield. He has this section for review.
