manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-03-01T15:19:54+00:00

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are" by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural. In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx" by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at the end of the sentence. In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when it's redundant with the preceding title.

docs: kernel-dev: faq: update tip on how to not include kernel in image

2023-01-06T17:33:45+00:00

Since commit f6d963fa6d0e ("kernel: make kernel-base recommend kernel-image, not depend"), present in Kirkstone 4.0, one should set RRECOMMENDS and not RDEPENDS to avoid including the kernel in the image, so let's update the documentation to reflect that.

manuals: replace "rootfs" by "root filesystem"

2022-01-07T11:12:06+00:00

Almost everyone understands "rootfs", but "root filesystem" is real English. (From yocto-docs rev: 3d610f15e5b6be3435e9e81e4498a676671e5b39) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

make the documentation a bit more inclusive

2021-12-13T23:31:34+00:00

Except the name of variables which can't be changed only in the documentation for obvious reasons and workflow or developement explanations around the use of the "master" branch which cannot be replaced with "development" branch instead, most of the non-inclusive words that appear in https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/tier-1/ should have been replaced in this patch.

manuals: add hyperlinks to files in meta-skeleton

2021-12-13T23:31:34+00:00

This makes the manuals easier to use. Note the care to keep the paths visible, so that people reading a printed version still know where to find the files. (From yocto-docs rev: 501917f65530f14ea686b69d6e96407c3f970a28) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

manuals: delete unmaintained history sections

2021-09-18T12:03:45+00:00

This deletes the history sections in each sub-manual, which didn't add any value, given that they didn't list the changes from one Yocto Project version to the next.

manuals: Rename the "Using .bbappend Files in Your Layer" section

2021-08-14T11:04:24+00:00

To prepare to add another example bbappend, rename the current "Using .bbappend Files in Your Layer" section to "Appending Other Layers Metadata With Your Layer". Name the current example as "Overlaying a File Using Your Layer".
