* documentation/kernel-manual: Fixed minor problemsScott Rifenbark2012-09-041-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | I did a read-through of the manual and spotted several nits that I fixed. All these are minor fixes.

* documentation: Updates for [YOCTO #1717].Scott Rifenbark2012-03-231-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Minor edits to the BSP Guide, the Development Manual, and the Kernel Manual to address [YOCTO #1717], which noted confusion over the kernel manual when a user was trying to find kernel configuration information. The fix for this bug involved several areas. I had previously created a new section called "Kernel Configuration" in the kernel manual and "Configuring the Kernel" in the YP Development manual. There were several rounds of feedback from Bruce Ashfield. This commit represents the final touches on the three manuals to address the bug.

* documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-concepts.xml: New kernel sectionScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-61/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This section is the first attempt at a new, high-level discussion of Linux Yocto Kernel configuration. The section is supposed to introduce the concepts only and leave the "How to" stuff for other areas of the documentation. I have thrown this section out to the Yocto Projects Discussion list for feedback. It will change.

| | | | | | | | | | These are transitory and related to bug 1717 (the kernel manual is confusing). Slow going on this stuff. The edits are notes only.

* documentation: Changed all manual links to point to "latest"Scott Rifenbark2011-11-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
