dev-manual: improve descriptions of 'bitbake -S printdiff'

2024-03-19T15:22:27+00:00

Try to particularly emphasize that it can be used to find out why something rebuilds when it shouldn't. (From yocto-docs rev: cfaf2707b4a77888316d5eb24bf41ccc21e2c12b) Signed-off-by: Alexander Kanavin Reviewed-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-02-24T16:13:28+00:00

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are" by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural. In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx" by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at the end of the sentence. In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when it's redundant with the preceding title.

dev-manual: Discourage the use of SRC_URI[md5sum]

2023-12-18T13:18:55+00:00

SRC_URI[md5sum] has been deprecated for a long time. Discourage its use by removing it from examples and note that it should be replaced by SRC_URI[sha256sum] when updating recipes. Also mention that bitbake supports other checksums, though they are not commonly used.

contributor guide: update instructions for making and sharing changes

2023-08-30T14:54:59+00:00

- Shifting the focus to multiple changes instead of just one - Advising to create a branch for changes - Removing unnecessary or too verbose explanations - Adding useful resources and examples (From yocto-docs rev: e7e47121fd979e034f8f40a043912640a6a25a5e) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

contributor guide: call section "Reporting a defect"

2023-08-30T14:54:59+00:00

Instead of "Submitting a defect". We all write bugs, and nobody needs documentation support for doing so! (From yocto-docs rev: ce94f6ed029afc8c69e84354c03bd0a9ab14f867) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reported-by: Joshua Watt Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

manuals: simplify references to the BitBake User Manual

2023-03-20T13:16:52+00:00

- Replacing :ref:`bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/...` by :ref:`bitbake-user-manual/...` Adding "bitbake:" as a prefix is not necessary as there is no naming conflict between the YP and the BitBake manuals (all documents are in "bitbake-user-manual/") - Explaining the rules in the README file - When necessary, fixing line length in the modified paragraphs.

manuals: simplify references to classes

2023-01-06T17:39:09+00:00

Now that .bbclass is removed from class section titles. We can now have, for example, :ref:`ref-classes-insane` instead of :ref:`insane `. Then, when necessary, rework paragraphs so that they have lines of even length, not exceeding 80 characters.
