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.

manuals: split dev-manual/common-tasks.rst

2022-12-01T19:20:29+00:00

A 500 KB source file is always harder to manage, and can have section title conflicts. So, the "Common Tasks" document is gone and all its constituents are moved up one level. You now have 40 chapters in the Development Tasks Manual. (From yocto-docs rev: 8a45bc469411410020b8e688c137395fcaf3761b) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
