* dev-manual: Added new section on how to exclude a packageScott Rifenbark2013-09-121-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #4079] The changes here address the documentation component of this bug. There is now a new section in the dev-manual in the "Working With Packages" section that describes and introduces the three variables the user can use to control this feature: BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS, NO_RECOMMENDATIONS, and PACKAGE_EXCLUDE.

* documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake featureScott Rifenbark2013-09-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry in the glossary. All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality into areas where running the setup script are discussed. Before this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env). Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this single method. With the introduction of a second possible method to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were needed. Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing was also needed. All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.

* dev-manual, ref-manual, yocto-project-qs: Debian support addedScott Rifenbark2013-08-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #4912] Throughout the manual set, various areas talk about the Linux distributions we support and the required packages among other items that are tied to a distro. Debian had been missing except from the list in the ref-manual that shows the releases we test against. I have attended to all areas where Debian needs to be mentioned now.

* ref-manual, dev-manual: Review edits for Build Directory wording.Scott Rifenbark2013-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Did some word-smithing to work around a false statement that implied externalsrc.bbclass needed to be inherited on a recipe-by-recipe basis. This affected the usage section and the glossary definitions for both EXTERNALSRC and EXTERNALSRC_BUILD. Also updated the "B" variable description to be more accurate in the use of the term "Build Directory."
