documentation: Scrubbed use of directory names

2013-12-03T12:53:06+00:00

There was inconsistent use of the way directory names were handled throughout the YP documentation. I have scrubbed the set and replaced many instances such as the following: meta/ replaces /meta/ poky replaces ~/poky (except in some very specific examples) I basically got rid of leading slash characters.

documentation: Changed Note for most recent manual

2013-11-01T17:09:50+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #5368] Changes partially address this issue, which is the removal of tarball installations for poky. The notes at the beginning of the YP manuals suggested that the tarball version of a manual might lag the version found on the website. Because we are discouraging installing poky/documentation from a tarball now, I have re-written the note to be generic and suggest simply that for the most recent version of the manual associated with the release, see the manual on the website.

2013-11-01T17:09:50+00:00

documentation: Updates to Manual revision tables

2013-11-01T17:09:49+00:00

Updated all six tables for both 1.5.1 and 1.6 releases. Both entries need to ultimately be in the 1.6 version of the manuals. (From yocto-docs rev: ac1d2cc5686da142562cd674f7fa8908895a27df) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Updated the in-tree metadata section

2013-09-22T11:20:42+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #5065] I added a blurb at the end of the section that talks about in-tree metadata. The blurb addresses situations where the user has changed the metadata but not updated the corresponding SRCREV variables in the kernel receipe.

kernel-dev: Fixed link in title page to point to new manual.

2013-08-13T12:18:36+00:00

The stock Note indicating that the user should consult the website for the latest version of the released manual had a link to the old kernel-manual. I have replaced it with a link to kernel-dev.

dev-manual, kernel-manual: Added links to THISDIR variable

2013-05-31T07:19:20+00:00

There is now a glossary description for the THISDIR variable in ref-manual. I added some cross-reference links to the variable in key places of these two manuals. (From yocto-docs rev: 0d0f756c142c506a66ebc6a1a33e9f124dafd333) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Updates to "Creating the Append File" section.

2013-05-22T16:23:41+00:00

Pointed out by Robert P. J. Day that I was using the wrong FILESEXTRAPATHS example for an append file. I failed to include the "_prepend" part of the variable. Also, the wording based on the example made some assumptions and was not entirely accurate. The changes I put in made the section very specific. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

kernel-dev: Updated changing the configuration section.

2013-05-22T16:23:41+00:00

Robert P. J. Day pointed out some implied meanings in this section that indicate configurations from .config are exclusive somehow from configurations applied through config fragments. That is not the case. I have inserted a note to clear up that implied meaning. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
