documentation: Updates to support a 1.8.1 YP manual release.

2015-11-18T16:44:02+00:00

Involves setting poky.ent variables, updating the manual revision tables, and editing the mega-manual.sed file to have the 1.8.1 string in there. (From yocto-docs rev: 5f06e00c9bd657059433cd3487e86eccd31e5cd6) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Added new section on "defconfig" files.

2015-10-21T22:11:37+00:00

The "Configuring the Kernel" section did not address "defconfig" files. In my opinion, this is a hole in the docs for this section. I added a new section titled "Creating a defconfig File" that is a sub-section of the "Configuring the Kernel" section. Additionally, I added a brief sentence in the introductory paragraph to include the fact that this new information exists. Finally, I included the bitbake command that ensures that the proper configuration steps are minimally run before a user attempts to use bitbake to get into menuconfig.

documentation: Updated customization layers to point to XSL mirrors

2015-10-21T22:11:37+00:00

The customization layers were pointing to Sourceforge site for the XSl files needed to build the manuals. Throuhgout time, this site has failed me enough to warrent trying to get these XSL files from some other source. Rather than ship the XSL files with the YP release, we decided to create some mirrors and point the customization files there.

dev-manual: Updates to kernel configuration in the "Kernel Modification Workflow" section

2015-10-21T22:11:36+00:00

This section needed some more information. It referenced the yocto-kernel script and menuconfig. I added references to the appropriate areas of YP documentation for these. I also changed wordings to that it is apparent that .config is created by menuconfig when changes are saved.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Added info about make race work-around

2015-10-21T22:11:35+00:00

I updated both the PARALLEL_MAKE and PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables by expanding the note to indicate how to prohibit parallel make threads. Also, added a cross-referencing link to the "Debugging Parallel Make Races" section. I added a short note to the start of the "Debugging Parallel Make Races" section noting that if they can't properly fix the condition, they can always do a work-around to set the PARALLEL_MAKE or PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables to null.

dev-manual: Updated requirements for writing a new test.

2015-10-21T22:11:35+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #7524] The "Writing New Tests" section needed more clarification in the first paragraph. One requirement is that minimally, an empty __iniit_.py file must exist in the runtime directory.

dev-manual: Updates to add Luna support for Eclipse

2015-05-03T10:49:38+00:00

Adding Luna and dropping Juno. Pretty much went through the "Working With Eclipse" section and dropped Juno and added Luna. A major deletion was the BitBake Commander section using Hob. Todor told me to drop this section completely. Note that I also added a couple new YoctoProjectTools that appear on the menu: SystemTap and yocto-bsp.
