| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ref-manual: Updated LIC_FILES_CHKSUM exampleScott Rifenbark2017-01-201-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #10898] No information indicated the use of "endline" and "beginline" in the examples setting LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. I added a note indicating that line numbering starts with one and the "endline" value is inclusive.

* yocto-project-qs, ref-manual: Added note for "resources temporarily ↵Scott Rifenbark2017-01-111-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unavailable" error Fixes [YOCTO #10818] There is a weird and intermittant error that can occur on any given distribution that has a 4.3+ Linux kernel and a version 228+ systemd. The error happens during an initial build of an image and indicates that resources are unavailable. Investigation determines that resources are available. The combination of the kernel and the systemd in a distro is causing issues when a distro is upgraded. yocto-project-qs: I added a note in the two areas where the user is stepped through the bitbake process to build an image. The note mentions the possibility of the error, the host configuration situation, and a couple work-arounds, which are to reboot the machine or to set the "DefaultTaskMax" systemd parameter to "infinity". ref-manual: Added the same note in the "Building an Image" section.

* ref-manual: New VOLATILE_LOG_DIR variable descriptionScott Rifenbark2017-01-112-3/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #6132] No mention of how to make the target directory /var/log persistent. I added a note to the "post-install-logging" image feature that points to the new VOLATILE_LOG_DIR variable description, which I added to the glossary.

* dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on initramfsScott Rifenbark2017-01-112-20/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #7096] We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included with a kernel build. Various variables sort of inferred the knowledge. I created a new section in the "Common Tasks" section of the dev-manual that describes how to create an initramfs image. Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back to the new "how-to" section. Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various related variables back to the new "how-to" section.

* ref-manual: Added KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME change to 2.2 migrationScott Rifenbark2016-12-081-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fact that the OpenEmbedded build system can now build multiple image types caused the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable to have the KERNEL_IMAGETYPE portion removed. This could cause existing recipes that use the KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME variable directly issues. I added a section indicating that the user should address those recipes to avoid problems.
