* documentation: poky-ref-manual - change support to opkg from ipkgPaul Eggleton2012-10-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | We haven't supported ipkg for some time now - it was replaced by opkg (whilst still using the ipk package format).

* documentation: poky-ref-manual - Updates to faq entryPaul Eggleton2012-10-021-8/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | Ensure that this section correctly and accurately describes how Poky and OE relate to eachother currently. The faq entry changed is "How does Poky differ from OpenEmbedded?"

| | | | | | | | | | | The entry for the question "Are there any products using the OpenEmbedded build system (poky)?" was updated. The changes result in a better question and answer.

* documentation: poky-ref-manual, dev-manual - added link to oe-corePaul Eggleton2012-10-021-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Explain that we test with a set of reference hardware rather than only supporting hardware that we have (avoiding any implication that the build system can't support other devices). These are in the faq entry in the poky-ref-manual for the question of how we can claim Poky / OpenEmbedded-Core is stable. * Adjust the language so that it is OE-Core friendly, with a link to the Development Manual for the definition of OE-Core.

* documentation/poky-ref-manual: Removed included BSP GuideScott Rifenbark2012-07-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the decision to create a single HTML file that has all individual YP manuals, the need for including the BSP guide as part of the YP Reference Manual goes away. I have removed this guide as a chapter, removed the mention of it in the introduction, and fixed the two links in the FAQ chapter to reference the external manual.

I changed the "faq" appendix to a chapter and made sure any references in the doc set use the proper term now (chapter).

* documentation: More information about DL_DIR added.Scott Rifenbark2012-03-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The information surrounding the central download directory was pretty scant. Jim Abernathy pointed this out in an email sent to me. As a start, I have added quite a bit more information to the glossary description for DL_DIR. Part of that added information is a pointer to the FAQ entry that describes exactly how the build system gets source files. Then, in the YP Development Manual in the section that introduces the build process, I added several references to various variables that are set in the local.conf file prior to kicking off the build.

* documentation/poky-ref-manual/faq.xml: Removed wording that focues on GNOMEScott Rifenbark2011-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per Paul Eggleton he suggested that the wording we had about YP focusing on the GNOME Mobile environment was misleading now. It was in there in the original version of the FAQ but with time has become outdated. I simply removed the "GNOME" part and left the part that mentions about YP being a stable environment and well-suited for the embedded mobile environment.
