yocto-project-qs and others: Rewrite of the QS

2015-07-28T17:02:32+00:00

This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better with the examples. In doing so, many manuals were affected due to section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here is a list of the changes by manual: Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the yocto-project-qs. Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list. Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE list. Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list. adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new 'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS. Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS. dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how to configure the most efficent build. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages' to 'The Build System Packages'. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an Image' to 'Building Images'. Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual. Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website from the YP QS to the dev-manual. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual. ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the ref-manual. Moved the introduction information regarding building an image along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on building images. toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

dev-manual: Removed a cross-ref link to "here"

2015-04-24T10:07:33+00:00

This practice is not good. I had one in the manual. I reworded the text to not use that term in a link. (From yocto-docs rev: 53636ae7370827945b31d11785410dd44670bb91) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Updated branch descriptions for better manual maintenance

2015-04-24T10:07:33+00:00

The "Repositories, Tags, and Branches" section had some wording that described how branches are maintained in the poky repo that made it hard to maintain in the doc from release to release. I had a list of past releases by name and as such would have to update it every release to make it reflect the last set. Well... this is not the best way to do this and proved out as it slipped through the cracks for the YP 1.8 release. Consequently, I recast the text so it is "release proof".

dev-manual: Updated the poky definition in the "Terms" section.

2015-04-24T10:07:33+00:00

Added some stuff about "poky" meaning the default distribution when using YP and the poky git repository to build an image. (From yocto-docs rev: bd534a5bdf405044c8f1a60ee9e251bff2a0e53c) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Updated the OpenEmbedded build system term.

2015-02-17T15:16:54+00:00

Added text to note how this term is used, what makes up the OE BS, and how the term "build system" is used in general. (From yocto-docs rev: 2af0a59a84fd1cf6d23db29f470cb5644f962746) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Added OpenEmbedded build system term, dumped build system

2015-02-17T15:16:54+00:00

The list of terms had a "build system" term that basically described the OpenEmbedded build system. I dumped this entry in favor of "OpenEmbedded build system." I updated the term's description to cover the generic term "build system" for no confusion.

dev-manual: Some minor fixes to some text.

2015-01-06T14:27:03+00:00
