bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Created unique tags for glossary variables.

2018-12-27T13:08:30+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #12399] The bug was to get the BitBake User Manual into the YP Mega-manual. All the changes here create unique tags used with variables in the BitBake Manual. Prior to the fix, tags were identical between like variables in the YP reference manual and the BitBake User Manual. The reason for this is because when I created the BitBake manual's glossary, it was a cut-and-paste operation to get the bulk of the work started. At the time, the BitBake User Manual was not a part of the Mega-manual. Once we decided to include the BitBake User Manual as part of the Mega-Manual, building the mega-manual produced warnings for all these duplicate links. To fix, I have updated the variable tags in the BitBake User Manual to use the following form: 'var-bb-' The tags used in the YP ref-manual follow this form (original): 'var-' (Bitbake rev: fb6de2057aae3fbdf37f007d2e47794b332020e1) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added BBMULTICONFIG support

2018-10-04T13:33:31+00:00

The BBMULTICONFIG variable is a variable used for BitBake and was not documented in the BitBake Manual glossary. I added the definition. I also added the variable to the example in the section describing how to execute builds for multiple configurations.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added google-repo fetcher and REPODIR var.

2018-02-14T15:26:03+00:00

Added a new repo Fetcher section in the same spirit as the existing sections for other supported fetchers. Changes included the new section, removal of the bulleted item that mentioned this fetcher as an "additional" fetcher, and the creation of a new variable in the glossary named REPODIR.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR variable description

2017-06-15T10:15:59+00:00

Just discovered a minor issue in the bitbake manual - under the variable glossary entry for BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR we say there's a default value of ${COREBASE} but that's not actually true in bitbake itself - there's no default in bitbake, that default is set in OE-Core. We can keep this in the YP ref manual but in the bitbake manual that sentence should be removed.
