* dev-manual, kernel-dev, ref-manual: Updated task name usage.Scott Rifenbark2014-06-181-15/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | There was inconsistency on how we refer to a task name throughout the YP manual set. The proper way is "do_<taskname>". Some occurrences did not include the "do_" prefix. These have been fixed.

* ref-manual: Added links to new do_* sections.Scott Rifenbark2014-05-131-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the creation of the new chapter that documents the 51 tasks defined by the OpenEmbedded build system, the remainder of the ref-manual had many first-instance occurrences of do_* task names that could be cross-referenced to the new sections. I have added these links.

* ref-manual: Edits to the "Using" chapter.Scott Rifenbark2014-03-301-8/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Along with some minor things I did the following: * Added a brief explanation and reference to the reporting error tool. It seemed like a good chapter to include it. I put it in the debugging section. * I added a pointer to the BitBake manual right at the top of a section that had many usages of the bitbake command.

* ref-manual: Edits to "Running Specific Tasks"Scott Rifenbark2014-03-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Paul Eggleton noted that the output to bitbake <target> -c listtasks was documented as going to a specific file only when in fact it also goes to the console. I updated the section to include that fact.

* ref-manual: Edits to "Understanding What the Build History Contains" section.Scott Rifenbark2014-03-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The opening sentence here said that the build history is kept in the $TMPDIR/buildhistory directory in the Build Directory as defined by the BUILDHISTORY_DIR variable. Well, the variable claims it is kept in $TOPDIR/buildhistory. I went with the variable as the correct source. So, I changed the intro sentence here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Removed the bit about isolating SDK information. Also removed the workaround and text regarding the limitation that caused adding and removing INHERIT += "buildhistory" to re-execute tasks. Added a few links to some newly documented variables.

Mostly some rewriting to feature some variables that help the user select build history features.

* ref-manual: Cleaned up some instances of the term "working directory"Scott Rifenbark2013-12-031-4/+5

* documentation: Scrubbed use of directory namesScott Rifenbark2013-12-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake featureScott Rifenbark2013-09-121-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* dev-manual, ref-manual, poky.ent: Fixed broken Release Note schemeScott Rifenbark2013-05-311-28/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The URL naming convention for the YP Release Notes has changed. It now takes the following form: http://www.yoctoproject.org/download/yoctoproject-15-poky-1000 The above is an example for YP Release 1.5 and poky release 10.0.0. I have set up three new variables in the poky.ent file to somewhat automate the links in the docs to point to the location of a given set of release notes: 1. DISTRO_COMPRESSED - set to the DISTRO string with no period (e.g 15 for 1.5). 2. POKYVERSION_COMPRESSED - set to the poky version with no periods (e.g. 1000 for 10.0.0). 3. YOCTO_RELEASE_NOTES - set to the full-blown release note URL. I made two changes to existing links for the Release Notes. One was in the dev-manual and one was in the ref-manual.
