* 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.

* ref-manual: Applied Paul Eggleton's buildhistory patch 2 of 5.Paul Eggleton2013-04-101-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Additional information added to the end of the "Build History Package Information" section." Buildhistory now collects information on SRCREV values for recipes fetched from a version control system e.g. Git; additionally a buildhistory-collect-srcrevs tool is provided to gather this and convert it to a format suitable for inclusion in global configuration. Add information on these new features to the appropriate section.
