* ref-manual: Converted external links to internal and fixed dev-manual linksScott Rifenbark2017-10-301-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | The dev-manual title changed to the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual. Fixed links for that. Also, fixed some external links that should have been internal to ref-manual.

* kernel-dev: Eliminated "Generating Configuration Files" section.Scott Rifenbark2017-10-061-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.

* dev-manual: Compatibility program and moving kernel configurationScott Rifenbark2017-09-261-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Should have been two commits but I forgot to do them separately. 1. I updated the YP Compatible Program section. 2. I moved the "Configuring the Kernel" section from the dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual.

* dev-manual, ref-manual: Image format implementation changesScott Rifenbark2017-09-221-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently a number of changes have happened on the implementation side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed. The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no longer in a stand-alone file. The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied to wic images.

* ref-manual, dev-manual: Updates to support recipe-specific sysrootsScott Rifenbark2017-04-181-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes covered several areas. Version 2.3 of the YP now supports recipe-specific sysroots and is not limited to machine-specific as was prior releases. Manual changes were as follows: dev-manual: "Sharing Files Between Recipes" - Wordings were changed to support the new functionality. ref-manual: do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task added to the list of tasks described in "Configuration and Compilation". ref-manual: Extensive re-write of the "staging.bbclass" section. ref-manual: Added a section to the build structure for build/tmp/work/tunearch/recipename/version/. This section breaks down the recipe-specific subdirectories used to create (stage) the sysroot. ref-manual: New section (entry) for the do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task in the task chapter. ref-manual: Added a variable glossary description for the SSTATE_SCAN_FILES variable. In addition to these changes, I sprinkled in a liberal amount of cross-referencing for the readers pleasure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #9166] In the dev-manual, I added a new section titled "Using a Development Python Shell." This section is similar to the section that talks about using devshell. The section is tied to a reference section on the do_devpyshell task. In the ref-manual, I entered a new task reference for the do_devpyshell task. It is brief and references into the new section in the dev-manual.

Here are some details: * Made changes to the "Package Feeds" section to provide more accurate information in the package feeds directory structure used by the build system in build/tmp. These changes included updating the figure itself and some explanatory text. * Updated the DEPLOY_DIR variable description. * Added new variable descriptions for DEPLOY_DIR_DEB, DEPLOY_DIR_IPK, DEPLOY_DIR_RPM, and DEPLOY_DIR_TAR. * Updated the related classes: package_deb, package_ipk, package_rpm, and package_tar. * Updated the related tasks: do_package_write_deb, do_package_write_ipk, do_package_write_rpm, and do_package_write_tar.
