documentation: Purged overview manual references

2018-02-14T15:25:30+00:00

When I converted the Yocto Project Overview Manual to the Getting Started With Yocto Project Manual, I updated the strings for references from "&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" TO "&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL". Unfortunately, I did it with a global command that did not take into account the text the might follow the link by saying "see such-and-such section in the Yocto Project Overview Manual." So, I had to hand fix these. Additionally, since I have moved a deeper concepts chapter that was in the getting-started manual to a new Yocto Project Concepts chapter, many of those links changed had to really go to the new manual instead. Those were fixed. (From yocto-docs rev: fca1c56b0764802fb6a687ea81ab0fb95186cf0a) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: Created new "Getting Started" manual.

2018-02-14T15:25:29+00:00

Creation involved removing the overview-manual and replacing it with the getting-started manual. All links to the string "&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" had to be replaced with "&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" across the entire YP manual set. I renamed files used to create the manual with prefixes suited for the new manual name, which is "Getting Started With Yocto Project". The style sheet for the new manual needed updating to display the new .PNG image for the title page. The mega-manual file had to be updated to include the files. The mega-manual.sed file had to be updated to include the new manual and not use the overview manual.

documentation: Created new YP Overview Manual

2018-02-14T15:25:27+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #12370] Added a new chapter to the newly created Yocto Project Overview Manual. This chapter originated from the YP Reference Manual and was the old chapter 3, which talked a lot about various concepts. This information is better suited for the new overview manual. The change involved moving the entire chapter and renaming it. This move of the content affected many, many external references and links into the old area. Consequently, I had to recast all these links from the different manual. Changes also included fixing the mega-manual.xml file so that it would include the new overview manual as part of it. Many figures had to be relocated as part of the move as well. This meant deleting them from the ref-manual/figures folder and putting them into the overview-manual/figures folder.

documentation: Re-write of dev-manual setup chapter

2017-07-11T23:28:13+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11630] The chapter on setting up YP has been completely re-written to move towards a "how-to" manual. This involved touching every aspect of the chapter. All subsections now have procedures surrounding set up stuff. There are some development sections that still need fleshed out. Many, many links and references in other chapters were affected. These have been fixed. A couple style-sheet (*.css) files were also updated to support the "writernotes" style, which renders paragraph text in red.

Also, clarified some wording in the section about submitting a patch through email.
