* documentation: Scrubbed use of directory namesScott Rifenbark2013-12-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was inconsistent use of the way directory names were handled throughout the YP documentation. I have scrubbed the set and replaced many instances such as the following: meta/<something> replaces /meta/<something> poky replaces ~/poky (except in some very specific examples) I basically got rid of leading slash characters.

* ref-manual: Created new "Closer Look" chapterScott Rifenbark2013-09-121-1039/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
