dev-manual: Added new section on how to exclude a package

2013-09-12T15:50:10+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4079] The changes here address the documentation component of this bug. There is now a new section in the dev-manual in the "Working With Packages" section that describes and introduces the three variables the user can use to control this feature: BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS, NO_RECOMMENDATIONS, and PACKAGE_EXCLUDE.

documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake feature

2013-09-12T15:50:10+00:00

The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry in the glossary. All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality into areas where running the setup script are discussed. Before this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env). Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this single method. With the introduction of a second possible method to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were needed. Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing was also needed. All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.

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.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Review edits for Build Directory wording.

2013-08-13T12:18:54+00:00

Did some word-smithing to work around a false statement that implied externalsrc.bbclass needed to be inherited on a recipe-by-recipe basis. This affected the usage section and the glossary definitions for both EXTERNALSRC and EXTERNALSRC_BUILD. Also updated the "B" variable description to be more accurate in the use of the term "Build Directory."

ref-manual, dev-manual: Fixed links for SERIAL_CONSOLE

2013-08-13T12:18:53+00:00

These manuals had references to the deprecated SERIAL_CONSOLE variable. Changed the links to SERIAL_CONSOLES. (From yocto-docs rev: 998b8524d2111ebfb6bdb3d4620434cd81d92489) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: updates to how to use externalsrc.bbclass

2013-08-13T12:18:50+00:00

I made sure all the usage information for this class is in this section and not in the ref-manual. Changes involved using EXTERNALSRC and EXTERNALSRC_BUILD now to select the source and build directories.
