* ref-manual, dev-manual: Clarifying "native" and "sdknative"Scott Rifenbark2016-03-031-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #8620] I applied some review comments for the changes made to several areas in both these manuals. Minor wording fixes and the dropping of some changes as directed by Joshua Lock.

* ref-manual, dev-manual: Clarification of "native" and "sdknative"Scott Rifenbark2016-03-031-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #8620] I went through and made some judgement calls on the use of "native" and "sdknative". I tried to make sure that the reader understood the real meaning of these terms.

* yocto-project-qs, ref-manual, poky.ent: CentOS Package updatesScott Rifenbark2015-11-181-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #8696] Turns out the 'dnf' command is not yet supported for CentOS as it is for Fedora, I changed the 'dnf' command back to 'yum'. Also, there were some essential packages that needed to be added to CentOS. Finally, there was a slight inconsistency in the Fedora list of essential packages and the ones for supporting Graphics. I had a redundant listing of one of the packages. I took that out of the Graphics area and left it only in the essentials area.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #8159] Fedora and CentOS have deprecated "yum" and have come up with "dnf" as the package manager. This happened at the end of 2014. I have replaced the occurrences in the manual appropritely.

* yocto-project-qs and others: Rewrite of the QSScott Rifenbark2015-07-281-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better with the examples. In doing so, many manuals were affected due to section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here is a list of the changes by manual: Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the yocto-project-qs. Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list. Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE list. Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list. adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new 'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS. Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS. dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how to configure the most efficent build. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages' to 'The Build System Packages'. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an Image' to 'Building Images'. Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual. Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website from the YP QS to the dev-manual. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual. ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the ref-manual. Moved the introduction information regarding building an image along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on building images. toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

* ref-manual: Removed tag from profile-manual cross-refScott Rifenbark2015-04-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the introduction, the ref-manual references several other YP manuals. If the manual is build separately, these references resolve to the appropriate manuals. When the mega-manual is built, the same references are designed to not become links. In otherwords, mega-manual.sed processes those links out. This is by design. I found a #profile-manual tag on one of the links in the introduction. This resulted in a link in the mega-manual that would go nowhere. I removed the tag.

* ref-manual: Updates to doc packages and reference linksScott Rifenbark2015-04-011-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I added xlstproc to Fedora and CentOS package lists for building out the docs. I abbreviated the list of references in the end chapter by leaving just the main URLs for bigger areas such as Intel, OE, etc. Then I put in a link that goes back to the dev-manual list of other informations as that is much more comprehensive.

* documentation: Removed redundant ID tags that were throwing warningsScott Rifenbark2015-02-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When you "make" the mega-manual, there were four tags across the various manuals where the same string "id='intro'" occurred. This causes warnings during the make process. I updated the strings to be unique. There are no cross-references to these so no collateral issues were caused.

In the dev-manual, I specifically called out the need for "xterm" as a host package at the top of the section describing workflow with Eclipse. I also updated the cross-reference links to the host package and Linux distro requirements to point into the ref-manual, which is more comprehensive, than into the QS.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #4911] This bug's comments determined that the link from the "Supported Distributions" section to the wiki page that shows a list of tested distros be removed. The wiki page has been updated to link into the section of manual and the wiki page states that it is out of date. So, the manual should not point back to that wiki page.
