| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] Moving the "Yocto Project Terms" section from the dev-manual to the ref-manual. Doing so caused all the links to the id "bitbake-term" to break. These had to be individually fixed. Discovered two unresolved references that were a consequence of moving that section to the ref-manual. These were fixed as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The exhaustive list of useful links and references to other YP documentation existed in the dev-manual. This is not the correct place for this type of reference information. I have moved that list to the ref-manual where it should be. The dev-manual now simply provides a link into that section.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11630] Reorganized the way the information about entering bugs using Bugzilla is arranged in the documentation set. The dev-manual now has a section that is purely procedural and steps the user through the process of logging a new bug in the Bugzilla system. The ref-manual has a conceptual section that introduces the YP implementation of Bugzilla by simply telling the user what it is and what what its purpose is.

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

I also cross-referenced the variable in the "Plug-ins" section of the dev-manual to point to the variable for more information.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #10350] A situation exists where a user deploys a new application using devtool target-deploy and the new application has runtime dependencies that are not already on the target. When this situation exists, the application misbehaves if it calls a missing function. I added the explanation of this situation to the section that describes the devtool deploy-target command. Also, put a pointer in the section on devtool add for cross-reference purposes.

* ref-manual: Added five "COPYLEFT*" variables to the glossary.Scott Rifenbark2017-03-241-0/+155
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #11021] The "Maintaining Open Source License Compliance During Your Product's Lifecycle" section in the dev manual covers use of archiver.bbclass, but is missing mention of the filtering options (e.g COPYLEFT_LICENSE_INCLUDE, COPYLEFT_LICENSE_EXCLUDE and COPYLEFT_RECIPE_TYPES). I added descriptions for these three. During the write-up, Paul noticed a couple other variables missing: COPYLEFT_PN_INCLUDE and COPYLEFT_PN_EXCLUDE. I also added descriptions for these two variables.
