* Documentation: poky-ref-manual - Updated STAMPS directory informationScott Rifenbark2012-12-111-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | The STAMPS directory is now structured as build/tmp/stamps/$MULTIMACH_TARGET_SYS/<extended_PN>/$PV. There were three areas in the manual that needed adjusting to reflect this change.

* documentation: Fixed links to BitBake User ManualScott Rifenbark2012-09-141-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert P. J. Day pointed out a link in the development manual that was for the BitBake User Manual. The link resolved to an old, non-maintained version of BitBake documentation. According to Richard Purdie, the BitBake docs referenced should be the ones that ship in the bitbake/doc/manual directory of poky. The YP docs had been using a variable named BITBAKE_DOCS_URL that also resolved to the antiquated user manual site. Consequently, there were many links that needed fixed across both the YP Development Manual and the YP Reference Manual. Each of these references now points in general to the bitbake/doc/manual directory in poky for more information. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

* documentation/poky-ref-manual/ref-bitbake.xml: Updated BitBake Running a TaskScott Rifenbark2011-12-161-1/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I added more information about how BitBake actually runs a task. The information has to do with how tightly BB controls the execution environment of the build tasks to prevent contamination from the build machine from leaking into the task execution environment. This tight control actually causes some unexpected behavior during builds. For example, when a user exports and BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE an environment item such as CCACHE_DIR, the effects of the environment item never make it to the BB task execution environment. They only make it to the data store. The user actually has to take some extra steps to export that environment item into the task execution environment. The added information I put into the "Running a Task" section describes these extra steps.

* documentation: Changed all manual links to point to "latest"Scott Rifenbark2011-11-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: scrubbed out 'glibc' and replaced with 'eglibc'Scott Rifenbark2011-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several manuals and areas were still referring to 'glibc' as the GNU version of the Unix statndrd C library. We do not support this any longer and now use 'eglibc' to build with. Notable changes were in the required packages area of the QS manual. I also added a bit in the reference guide saying how this release does not use 'glibc' to build with but rather 'eglibc'.
