* 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."

* dev-manual: updates to how to use externalsrc.bbclassScott Rifenbark2013-08-131-32/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | I made sure all the usage information for this class is in this section and not in the ref-manual. Changes involved using EXTERNALSRC and EXTERNALSRC_BUILD now to select the source and build directories.

* 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.
