* documentation/poky-ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: new BBMASK glossary entryScott Rifenbark2012-03-081-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Added a glossary entry for BBMASK. Fixes [YOCTO #1935] Reported by: Gary Thomas <gary@mlbassoc.com> (From yocto-docs rev: 4406a8b0b85ac15070e2ccb1c57ef9801827a7f7) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
* documentation/poky-ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: PDF formatting fixed.Scott Rifenbark2012-03-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the PDF version of the reference guide there were several glossary variables that did not format correctly. The issue is that the two- column list had instances where the variable name overruns the variable description. I added an extra line return for these cases.

| | | | | | | | | | | I made another pass over the variables that affect the root filesystem size generation. The changes are based on review feedback from both Saul and Joshua.

* documentation/poky-ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: image size glossaryScott Rifenbark2012-01-061-0/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I added three new glossary entries for how the build process figures out the image size. Entries are for IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE, IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR, and IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE. I still need to create a usage section for this topic. Likely this will be in the development manual in a new chapter I am thinking about. Fixes [YOCTO #1110] partially.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Text that suggests setting the BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE variables to speed build time has been updated to suggest a setting of twice the number of host cores supported. The 2x number came to light through a discussion on the project mailing list initiated by Robert P. J. Day. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'.

* YOCTO #1088: documentation - Added text to partially address package bugScott Rifenbark2011-09-021-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This bug was filed by Gary Thomas and was requesting more information on the "hows" and "whys" of setting up your own package repositories. At this point, I have added information to help the user understand build performance issues when choosing between the RPM and IPKG packaging systems. Likely, there is more that needs to be added to fully address this bug. For now, I added explanations in the packaging class and glossary areas of the YP reference manual, a new paragraph in the YP QS just prior to firing off a build, and a new bit of information in the configuring PMS in the ADT Manual.
