documentation: Updates to cull out buried YP Website references.

2017-10-16T22:46:53+00:00

With the redoing of the YP website, it was decided that the manuals could only reference into the top-level and the top-level/documentation URLs of the website. I removed all references to areas such as projects (e.g. Toaster, VM, etc.) and any other URL that was not the top-level landing page or the documentation page.

Documenation: Updated "Usually October" to "October 2017" string

2017-10-06T11:06:34+00:00

The string in the manual revision table needed updated across the set except for the kernel-dev manual. (From yocto-docs rev: e087a707e02ff913baba2ac8bc6594206f53f70c) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Eliminated "Generating Configuration Files" section.

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well. (From yocto-docs rev: 7059d3eac1fec20089cabf197503f1bec747686d) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Compatibility program and moving kernel configuration

2017-09-26T10:18:59+00:00

Should have been two commits but I forgot to do them separately. 1. I updated the YP Compatible Program section. 2. I moved the "Configuring the Kernel" section from the dev-manual to the kernel-dev manual.

kernel-dev, mega-manual: kernel dev flow fig update and chapter revs

2017-09-13T17:00:19+00:00

Updated the kernel development flow diagram to have an arrow from the repositories to the box that says you need to clone the kernel repository. Also, provided some wording changes in the end of the chapter. (From yocto-docs rev: c77cff4f7b0795d5429dc47c2ad63aec6d19d513) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Updates to the intro chapter

2017-09-13T17:00:18+00:00

I moved the flow diagram up higher and completely removed the procedures to get the build host ready for kernel development. Those are now in the common tasks chapter. Lots of rewriting Signen-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Added output to kernel clone example.

kernel-dev: Removed bare clone stuff for trad. kernel dev.

2017-09-01T23:52:49+00:00

Bare clone setup is no longer recommended or necessary for traditional kernel development. All that is required is to clone the kernel Git repo locally. (From yocto-docs rev: cbe6d79da4fc2d5bba530b0fe6abead7783bdfbe) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
