manuals: improve references to classes

2022-02-03T13:47:50+00:00

- Simplify references to class sections, by replacing references such as :ref:`image.bbclass ` by :ref:`ref-classes-image` That's equivalent, because the class sections always called .bbclass - Adding references to class sections, by replacing strings such as ``image.bbclass`` by :ref:`ref-classes-image` - Simplifying a few class section links (From yocto-docs rev: 29d66aaa898390c19f121baf0f4fdcc178e4cd80) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: stop mentioning nightly builds

2022-01-17T11:59:50+00:00

docs: dev-manual: common-tasks: highlight creating your own layer is not required

2021-12-13T23:31:34+00:00

Three's been some feedback saying that people actually missed that paragraph and thought creating the layer by hand was the only way to do it instead of leveraging bitbake-layers create-layer tool. Let's try to make it a bit more obvious one does not need to create the layer by hand by putting the paragraph into a note.

make the documentation a bit more inclusive

2021-12-13T23:31:34+00:00

Except the name of variables which can't be changed only in the documentation for obvious reasons and workflow or developement explanations around the use of the "master" branch which cannot be replaced with "development" branch instead, most of the non-inclusive words that appear in https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/tier-1/ should have been replaced in this patch.
