* kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Kernel prep stepsScott Rifenbark2017-09-025-17/+203
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dev-manual had a place-holder section for getting the build host ready for using YP and then doing kernel development. This stuff is better suited for the actual kernel development manual. I moved the section. Moving created several broken links in the manual set that had to be fixed. In the dev-manual, I updated the introductory list to include the newly moved kernel stuff.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I did some rewriting for clarity in the "Using .bbappend Files in Your Layer" section. The section needed to be retitled so focus on the layer aspect of .bbappend files. Also, while I was in there, I did more work on the prose in general. Also had to fix some links in the bsp, kernel, and ref manuals that linked into the section whose name I changes.

* documentation: Moved devtool workflow to sdk manualScott Rifenbark2017-07-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The section on the devtool workflow in the dev-manual was 99% identical to what was in the sdk-manual. I have moved the workflow procedure from the old "Model" chapter of the dev-manual to be merged with what was in the sdk-manual. In truth, the only things added were a note about devtool not being exclusive to SDK development. The result of moving (deleting) this section was that the "model" chapter of the dev-manual went away. The devtool stuff, Quilt, devshell, and python shell are all out now and there is no chapter left. So, mega-manual had to be adjusted to not pull that chapter in when building the dev-manual. I had to delete three figures that were used in the flow. The figures were already replicated in the sdk-manual. The figures were deleted from the figures folder of both the dev-manual and the mega-manual. I had to make sure all references to the old devtool stuf in the YP doc set were adjusted.

I moved it and took care of all the links and external references throughout the YP doc set. One figure was involved that had to be moved to the figures folder in kernel-dev from dev-manual. That is why the Makefile had to be edited.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The "Yocto Project Source Repositories" section is purely conceptual and thus does not belong in the reconstituted dev-manual, which is converting to a "how-to" manual. I have moved this section to the ref-manual under "The Yocto Project Development Environment" section. Moving the section affected several things. Three figures that where in the dev-manual were copied and moved to the figures folder of the ref-manual. This required deleting them from the dev-manual and adding them to the ref-manual. The makefile had to be edited to move those figures into the ref-manual and delete them from the latest version of the dev-manual in order for the tarball of files to be correct when the manuals are made. Links to anchors within the moved section had to be fixed in various manuals. Links to the main section "id" had to be fixed to point to the ref-manual manual.
