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.

2013-05-22T16:23:38+00:00

1. Changed the variables in poky.ent to contain the "1.5" string and the "tbd" string for the unknowns. 2. Updated the manual revision history tables so to replace the 1.4.1 release entry, which should not be there, to the 1.5 entry.

kernel-dev: Edits to the "Changing the Configuration" section.

2013-04-17T21:34:23+00:00

This section had some problems. It failed to mention the need to extend FILESPATH by using FILESEXTRAPATHS. (From yocto-docs rev: e627cf21242a62fb23e93fdae61e8cfce32082a9) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
