| | | | | | | | | | | | Removing the Appendix A (BSP) example had some rippling affects throughout the doc set. There were several links into the appendix. All these links had to either be modified (if possible) or simply removed since the appendix will be removed.

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

* documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-how-to.xml: Updated build strategyScott Rifenbark2011-10-041-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This section used the term "tree construction" somewhat out of context. The section really focuses on what the build process and the user does prior to compilation. I changed wording to indicate the tree is validated to be sure that the SRC_URI point to the right stuff and that the BSP build branch exists.
