ref-manual: move runtime-testing section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

In the same fashion as the previous commit ("ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual"), move the runtime testing section of the development tasks manual to the test environment manual. Add a link to it from the test-manual/intro document.

ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

[ YOCTO #15106 ] It makes more sense to document ptests in the test-manual. Since ptests are still related to packages, keep a link to ptests from packages.rst to the test-manual.

dev-manual: document how to provide confs from layer.conf

2024-11-15T14:05:33+00:00

Add a section on providing global level configuration from the layer.conf file. Since this file is parsed at an earlier stage in the parsing process, it's not possible to combine bb.utils.contains and {DISTRO,MACHINE}_FEATURES to conditionally set some configurations. This patch documents: - First that this file can be used for providing such configuration. - Then demonstrate how to conditionally provide them, using a technique that is currently used in meta-virtualization (https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization/tree/conf/layer.conf#n50). Fixes [YOCTO #12688].

dev-manual: update custom distribution section

2024-05-15T16:44:16+00:00

In keeping with the addition of the motd message pointing out that the poky DISTRO is a reference distribution, adjust the opening of the Creating Your Own Distribution section to match. Additionally, add a section on the end pointing out what users need to consider if they just take a copy of the poky distribution and modify it.

manuals: remove tab characters

2024-04-19T11:50:40+00:00

As reported by "make sphinx-lint" Tabs are even removed in Makefile examples, as Sphinx turns them to spaces anyway in the generated output. (From yocto-docs rev: fd1423141e7458ba557db465c171b0b4e9063987) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reviewed-by: Quentin Schulz Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman

manuals: document VIRTUAL-RUNTIME variables

Document the convention to use variables prefixed by VIRTUAL_RUNTIME. Add references to the new term where possible. Another reason is that such variables are recommended in a warning issued by meta/classes-global/insane.bbclass (From yocto-docs rev: db88c2021062c95fe49b54351952753390d45a6a) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reported-by: Tim Orling Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman
