From c94501d5ae6cfbbe351d366bb74a9ae0f353ad3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2017 12:09:40 -0700 Subject: ref-manual: Updated note about included failed license check Fixes [YOCTO #10898] It is hard to get the exact start and end for included license text during a LIC_FILES_CHKSUM operation. I updated the notes indicating that the QA message returned upon failure includes the attempted license text. The user can better adjust his LIC_FILES_CHKSUM statement to then dig out the proper text.
