* dev-manual: Minor edits to the "Introduction" chapter.Scott Rifenbark2014-03-251-9/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | I fixed a few things as part of the read through prior to the 1.6 release. In particular, I added the link for the BitBake User Manual, which is now published alongside the YP manuals.

* dev-manual, ref-manual, poky.ent: Fixed broken Release Note schemeScott Rifenbark2013-05-311-15/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The URL naming convention for the YP Release Notes has changed. It now takes the following form: http://www.yoctoproject.org/download/yoctoproject-15-poky-1000 The above is an example for YP Release 1.5 and poky release 10.0.0. I have set up three new variables in the poky.ent file to somewhat automate the links in the docs to point to the location of a given set of release notes: 1. DISTRO_COMPRESSED - set to the DISTRO string with no period (e.g 15 for 1.5). 2. POKYVERSION_COMPRESSED - set to the poky version with no periods (e.g. 1000 for 10.0.0). 3. YOCTO_RELEASE_NOTES - set to the full-blown release note URL. I made two changes to existing links for the Release Notes. One was in the dev-manual and one was in the ref-manual.

* documentation: Fixed links to BitBake User ManualScott Rifenbark2012-09-141-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert P. J. Day pointed out a link in the development manual that was for the BitBake User Manual. The link resolved to an old, non-maintained version of BitBake documentation. According to Richard Purdie, the BitBake docs referenced should be the ones that ship in the bitbake/doc/manual directory of poky. The YP docs had been using a variable named BITBAKE_DOCS_URL that also resolved to the antiquated user manual site. Consequently, there were many links that needed fixed across both the YP Development Manual and the YP Reference Manual. Each of these references now points in general to the bitbake/doc/manual directory in poky for more information. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

* documentation: Changed all manual links to point to "latest"Scott Rifenbark2011-11-251-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are many references to YP documentation throughout the YP manual set. They used to have hard-coded links to the current release (e.g. yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1 for Edison). This created a situation where if you went to a document on the website and clicked on a external reference to another manual, you would redirect to the current manual on the website. Really, you would want to go to the latest manual, which is one that is under development. Changing the links to "yoctoproject.org/docs/latest" makes the tip of master, which is used for devloping the next release, always have references to the manuals being developed and not back to the stable released set of manuals. This "latest" and "current" scheme for the links is not perfect. What has to happen when the latest set of the manuals freezes and becomes the next stable release, all the links in the docs will need to be changed from "latest" in the URL to the new release number. So for example, all the "latest" occurences would need to be changed to "1.2". Then for the next cycle as development begins again, the links need to be infused with "latest" again.
