dev-manual, ref-manual: Updated various wordings and links

2017-04-20T07:16:38+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10995] I implemented various wording changes based on feedback from the review. One section title changes so some links in the ref-manual and the dev-manual needed updating as well.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Updates to support recipe-specific sysroots

2017-04-18T14:51:44+00:00

Changes covered several areas. Version 2.3 of the YP now supports recipe-specific sysroots and is not limited to machine-specific as was prior releases. Manual changes were as follows: dev-manual: "Sharing Files Between Recipes" - Wordings were changed to support the new functionality. ref-manual: do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task added to the list of tasks described in "Configuration and Compilation". ref-manual: Extensive re-write of the "staging.bbclass" section. ref-manual: Added a section to the build structure for build/tmp/work/tunearch/recipename/version/. This section breaks down the recipe-specific subdirectories used to create (stage) the sysroot. ref-manual: New section (entry) for the do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task in the task chapter. ref-manual: Added a variable glossary description for the SSTATE_SCAN_FILES variable. In addition to these changes, I sprinkled in a liberal amount of cross-referencing for the readers pleasure.

dev-manual, ref-manual: Edits to the "Incrementing Binary Package" section.

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10995] I applied some revisions to the related sections for incrementing a binary package version and revision sections. Mainly clarified terminology and pulled the sections into one single section head. I also cleaned up referencing to all these sections throughout the YP manual set (i.e. the ref-manual).

dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on linear revision for packages

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10995] For the dev-manual, I added a new section on incrementing package revision numbers that explains how the build system uses various variables to create linearly numbered revisions for packages. For the ref-manual, I cross-referenced into the new section from the AUTOSRC and SRCREV variables.

dev-manual: Added section on using headers to interface with devices

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #8596] Added a new section to describe the right way to use headers to interface to a device or custom Linux kernel API. Too often a user wants to modify the libc header file, which absolutely wrong. This new section provides some guidance.

dev-manual, ref-manual: Added PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS and concept support

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11274] When a post-installation or pre-installation script uses tools that have dependencies, you need to specify the tools using the new PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS variable. I added this information at the end of the "Post Installtion Scripts" section in the dev-manual. I also added a new variable entry for the PACKAGE_WRITE_DEPS variable in the glossary.

dev-manual: Added cross-reference to QA and Test Infrastructure section.

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10887] I placed a small paragraph at the end of the introduction to the "Performing Automated Runtime Testing" section that points into the new section on QA and testing infrastructure in the ref-manual.

dev-manual: Added YP Compatibility feature

2017-04-12T18:34:59+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10596] No information existed for the version 1.0 YP Compatibility Program for layers. Additionally, the version 2.0 flavor is adding a script as part of the application process. I put in a new section on the whole topic. Also, integrated the information into relevant sections with some cross-referencing.
