* ref-manual: Cleaned up some instances of the term "working directory"Scott Rifenbark2013-12-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This term should always reference a users current working directory and not be confused with the OpenEmbedded build system's "work directory (WORKDIR). I found several instances where the term "working directory" was not used correctly and fixed them. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

* ref-manual, yocto-project-qs: Explanations for Git tarballsScott Rifenbark2013-09-221-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #5035] By default, the DL_DIR does not get files from Git repositories that are suitable for mirroring. There is a work-around by using the BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS variable, which, when set, causes the build system to generate tarballs for the Git repositories and place them in the DL_DIR. To address this, I added a new variable description for the BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS varible, updated the DL_DIR variable to indicate that "out-of-the-box" the YP puts suitable mirror files into the DL_DIR for everthing except Git repositories. Some other sections were updated where discussion revolved around pulling down source files. The QS had a spot where the BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS variable was actually used in an example. And, the expanded discussion on the BitBake process had a couple spots that deserved a mention.

* ref-manual, mega-manual: Updates to the SDK Generation sectionScott Rifenbark2013-09-221-34/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #2808] I updated the figure to not call out the SDK environment setup script as it is part of the .sh file. The figure was placed in the "figures" directory of the ref-manual and the mega-manual. Also, I removed the duplicated variable descriptions and referenced these descriptions in the "Application Development SDK" section, which is further down in the manual. The descriptions have more to do with where output is placed.

* ref-manual, mega-manual: Updates to "Image Generation"Scott Rifenbark2013-09-221-14/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #2808] Updated the figure and placed it in the folders area for both the ref-manual and mega-manual. I had to add the DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE variable and create a new machine-specific directory below deploy. The text had to be adjusted to reflect this change as well. Also, created a new variable entry for DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE for the glossary of the ref-manual.

* documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake featureScott Rifenbark2013-09-121-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry in the glossary. All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality into areas where running the setup script are discussed. Before this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env). Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this single method. With the introduction of a second possible method to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were needed. Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing was also needed. All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.

* ref-manual: Created new "Closer Look" chapterScott Rifenbark2013-09-121-0/+1050
Fixes [YOCTO #2808] I extracted the section that takes a closer look at the YP development process into its own chapter. Feedback during the review indicated that this information should not be buried as it was in a section but rather pulled higher out for visibility. So, The changes create a new chapter three that is dedicated to this topic.
