| | | | | | | | | | | | | MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS won't always grab your out-of-tree module recipe since the kernel recipe's PACKAGES_DYNAMIC variable provides kernel-module-*. This patch documents that your out-of-tree module needs to explicitly set its PACKAGES variable to avoid this behavior.

* ref-manual, dev-manual: Applied feedback to edit several classesScott Rifenbark2015-10-214-142/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #8298] Updated several classes with feedback from Jose Lamego of Intel. The feedback fixed some class groupings so that previously isolated classes could be bundled under common classes (e.g. autotools*.bbclass). I scrubbed the cross-references for cases where a particular class became "undocumented." The cross-references now point to the bundled class entry in the ref-manual.

This was done to help clarify how to put fetched code into specific directories. Also updated the bin_packages.bbclass description to have a better example. Used a git:// fetcher example and provided some specific URL parameters.

In doing so, many manuals were affected due to section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here is a list of the changes by manual: Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the yocto-project-qs. Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list. Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE list. Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list. adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new 'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS. Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS. dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how to configure the most efficent build. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages' to 'The Build System Packages'. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an Image' to 'Building Images'. Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual. Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website from the YP QS to the dev-manual. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual. ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the ref-manual. Moved the introduction information regarding building an image along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on building images. toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

| | | | | | | | | | | | I applied a little more information to this section to help round out the variable explanations. Part of the change involved adding PARALLEL_MAKEINST to the list of scaled variables. I had left that variable off. Also added a new trade-off.

* ref-manual, dev-manual: Added info about make race work-aroundScott Rifenbark2015-07-281-10/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I updated both the PARALLEL_MAKE and PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables by expanding the note to indicate how to prohibit parallel make threads. Also, added a cross-referencing link to the "Debugging Parallel Make Races" section. I added a short note to the start of the "Debugging Parallel Make Races" section noting that if they can't properly fix the condition, they can always do a work-around to set the PARALLEL_MAKE or PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables to null.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I added some more detail to these two variables. The system sets them according to the perceived number of cores. These default setting are cool for single socket systems. However, if you have some big system with a lot of physical CPUs, you might want to cap off the values at 20. This is according to Darren Hart. I also put in some cross-references to the "Speeding Up the Build" section.
