From 99cb233e0c8058c9a406e18fedae70b0f60e3864 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2011 11:54:20 -0700 Subject: YOCTO #1088: documentation - Added text to partially address package bug This bug was filed by Gary Thomas and was requesting more information on the "hows" and "whys" of setting up your own package repositories. At this point, I have added information to help the user understand build performance issues when choosing between the RPM and IPKG packaging systems. Likely, there is more that needs to be added to fully address this bug. For now, I added explanations in the packaging class and glossary areas of the YP reference manual, a new paragraph in the YP QS just prior to firing off a build, and a new bit of information in the configuring PMS in the ADT Manual.
