From bdeb6db2fbc8563b03ea17d9c18a5fa19830e12f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 09:32:57 -0700 Subject: kernel-dev, dev-manual: Moved Yocto Linux kernel overview Fixes [YOCTO #11630] I took the Yocto Linux kernel overview list of kernels out of the dev-manual and moved them to the "Yocto Project Kernel Development and Maintenance" section in Appendix A of the kernel-dev manual. This is a much more logical area to introduce this type of Yocto Linux kernel information.
