documentation: link to the Releases page on yoctoproject.org instead of wiki

2025-11-26T15:50:36+00:00

We have a machine-generated Releases page[1] which is preferable to the wiki.

dev-manual: debugging: use bitbake-getvar in Viewing Variable Values section

2025-11-26T15:50:36+00:00

We should recommend using bitbake-getvar command wherever possible as its output is much less confusing and overwhelming than bitbake -e. Unfortunately, bitbake-getvar currently doesn't list Python tasks or functions, unlike bitbake -e, so keep the latter for some corner cases.

dev-manual/sbom.rst: reflect that create-spdx is enabled by default

2025-11-26T15:50:35+00:00

Since nanbield (b34032ec "defaultsetup: Inherit create-spdx by default"), the create-spdx class is pulled in by default, not only by poky. Adapt the text to reflect this and also change INHERIT to INHERIT_DISTRO since this is the more concrete variable to modify for disabling create-spdx.
