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.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Fixed special character in -D output

2017-04-03T21:32:02+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #9962] The new output for -D was copied into the manual and merged by the engineering team before checking to see if the manual would make properly. The next output for -D introduced an error through the string "". The angled bracket characters are illegal in docbook and must be replaced by "<" and ">", respectively. I made this fix.

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added "path_spec" parameter to SVN Fetcher

2017-03-01T15:46:59+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10405] The section on the SVN Fetcher was missing information on the "path_spec" option. I added this option and also updated the examples at the bottom of the section to include that parameter. Also, made the other two examples consistent. I also removed the "date" parameter. Also, updated the "protocol" parameter as well as the "modify" parameter. For "modify" I removed the reference to "rsh". I applied a small wording change to the "protocol" parameter. Finally, I added a new "ssh" parameter. (Bitbake rev: 3ce6169afa646ef2b847e5fbabfe0191c93928b7) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Rewrite dependency dot file generation

2017-03-01T15:46:59+00:00

The package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot files are inaccurate, missing out key dependencies such those made via the [depends] flags. As such they can be misleading to the user. They mainly exist for historical reasons, coming from a time before we had task based execution. This commit removes the two dated file formats and replaces them with a recipe-depends.dot which is a flattened version of task-depends.dot. The old format files are removed if present so that the user can't get confused about why data might not match between files. The code is also rewritten to use 'with f: f.write()' syntax as is more commonly used now. Also update the docs to match the change.
