vulnerabilities: update nvdcve file name

2025-09-17T22:32:27+00:00

The filename is outdated as its version was already bumped and there are also different files for different feed choices. Use glob to match any available file. Also the directory changed to CVE_CHECK2 meanwhile, so Update it, too.

dev-manual/start.rst: remove basic setup for hash equivalence

2025-08-04T16:12:24+00:00

Quoting Alexander Kanavin [1]: > 1. BB_HASHSERVE and BB_SIGNATURE_HANDLER do not set up or start a > server, they set up the hash equivalence client built into bitbake. > > 2. The above client configuration (used by poky) also starts a private > server that is specific to a particular build directory. So hash equiv > information would not be shared between multiple build directories, > and this will cause sstate mismatches (as reported in the bug), if > sstate is shared. This setup does not shed light on the potential of the hash equivalence feature. So for now, remove this basic setup, and later rework the concepts (or create a new) document that explains how to set up a hash equivalence server shared between builds.

dev-manual/start.rst: remove shared PERSISTENT_DIR mentions

2025-07-17T20:57:58+00:00

Remove the shared PERSISTENT_DIR mention introduced by 3954eda78f22 ("dev-manual/start.rst: mention that PERSISTENT_DIR should be shared too"), as it should _not_ be shared. Instead recommend setting up a hash equivalence server.

dev-manual/start.rst: mention that PERSISTENT_DIR should be shared too

2025-07-17T20:57:58+00:00

In the "Development environment summary", we mention that the shared state dir can be shared for developers, but PERSISTENT_DIR should be shared as well, otherwise bugs described in [1] can happen.

sphinx-lint: unbalanced inline literal markup

2025-06-02T17:26:30+00:00

Fix as many instances of unbalanced-inline-literals-delimiters as reported by 'make sphinx-lint' as possible. Sphinx and/or its linter seem to get tripped up randomly when references contain links to a heading which contain literals enclosed in double-back-tics; especially in the cases where a heading either contains multiple literals or when the literal is not at the end of the heading. Not all of them can be "fixed" to pass both building and linting.

Generating SPDX is enabled by default in poky but it can take a lot of build time resources so document how to disable it.
