dev-manual, ref-manual, yocto-project-qs: Debian support added

2013-08-13T12:18:57+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4912] Throughout the manual set, various areas talk about the Linux distributions we support and the required packages among other items that are tied to a distro. Debian had been missing except from the list in the ref-manual that shows the releases we test against. I have attended to all areas where Debian needs to be mentioned now.

dev-manual: Fixed some rogue characters.

2013-08-13T12:18:39+00:00

Discovered a random ":S" and ":" character in front of a couple of list items. Must have been a wandering cursor situation during an edit session. (From yocto-docs rev: b81412e255ca90e850bce61ef7f9927692f0fcb5) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Fixed reference to bug format.

2013-08-13T12:18:36+00:00

Based on observations from the various mailing lists, it is obvious that bugzilla issues are almost always referenced using square brackets. (From yocto-docs rev: 10b51afe7db62b8eb6e29bd1dd1ba4edb4320f83) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Updates to the "Cross-Development Toolchain" term.

2013-06-21T13:26:30+00:00

This term description has been reduced to an introduction only. The real details are now in the ref-manual. This term now simply is introduced and the reader is referred to the ref-manual section.

dev-manual: Added definition for the term "Meta-Toolchain"

dev-manual: Updated reference to where licenses are kept

2013-06-14T16:33:30+00:00

After a build, the license data is found in ${TMPDIR}/deploy/licenses not ${TMPDIR}/deploy/images/licenses. Reported-by: Trevor Woerner (From yocto-docs rev: 7f9b3d842f0f68bd0c005a20d38f1b26aef11387) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Updated wording about Git

2013-05-31T07:19:20+00:00

I removed the statement saying that checking out a Git repository is a backup of the repo. Technically, that is not true. It would be more of a clone operation. The statement was superfluous anyway so I decided to remove it altogether.

dev-manual: Added cross-reference to section for finding maintainers

2013-04-17T21:34:13+00:00

The "Tracking Bugs" section mentions how to enter a bug using Bugzilla. I added a new step just before the step that says to submit the bug that tells the user to be sure to copy the correct people. The link goes to the section that describes how to figure out who is responsible for code.
