dev-manual: Cleaned up layer naming terminology

2018-03-25T08:41:13+00:00

Reality dictates that the YP does not treat layer naming consistently. Layers are talked about as the "meta-whatever" layer and never the "whatever" layer. However, the tooling sometimes appends or uses just the "whatever" part of the layer name. A good example is the meta-yocto-bsp configuration file. All the variables in there use just the root name of a layer's name. In the manuals, I had been distinguishing the layer name as just the "whatever" part sans "meta-". I talked about the convention of using "meta-" in front of layer names, etc. Well, this is confusing in light of how everyone says a layer's name is "meta-whatever". So, I fixed all this up.

documentation: Updated the section on creating a general script

2018-03-25T08:41:13+00:00

Split this section into two sections: one for creating the layer using bitbake-layers create-layer and one for adding the layer to bblayers.conf using bitbake-layers add-layer. Needed to update some references in the yocto-project-qs and kernel-dev manuals.
