kernel-dev/common.rst: fix the in-tree defconfig description

2025-10-09T19:16:46+00:00

The description of the relation between KBUILD_DEFCONFIG and SRC_URI is reversed. In fact it is the SRC_URI provided defconfig which will be dropped by the kernel-yocto class if both are provided.

sphinx-lint: unbalanced inline literal markup

2025-05-27T16:38:57+00:00

Fix as many instances of unbalanced-inline-literals-delimiters as reported by 'make sphinx-lint' as possible. Sphinx and/or its linter seem to get tripped up randomly when references contain links to heading which contain literals enclosed in double-back-tics, and not all of them can be "fixed" to pass both building and linting.

Update the documentation for SRCPV

2024-12-23T13:46:32+00:00

The variable SRCPV is deprecated since 4.3. Instead of including SRCPV in PV, including the sign "+" is enough for bitbake to add the source control information to PKGV during the packaging phase. Update the documentation for SRCPV and the places where it was used. When instructions previously referred to SRCPV, replace by mentioning to include "+" in the assignment. In most examples, "+git" is added to PV as it is the most popular SCM. Simply adding "+" is also possible, although it is better practice to include the SCM name, so give that example. Update the gcompat example with l3afpad as it didn't include "+git" in its PV definition anymore.

manuals: remove tab characters

2024-04-12T16:29:34+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: 20e9c0c9fad3109567948af6bc40bb0fa2a5552b) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reviewed-by: Quentin Schulz Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: join mkdir commands with -p

2024-04-08T13:36:38+00:00

To make it more obvious which directories are needed, pass only these to *mkdir* and use the option `-p` to create the missing parents. (From yocto-docs rev: 92806d2ab1f909eef9ccc532958a7ced6262b9b0) Signed-off-by: Jörg Sommer Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-02-24T16:13:28+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.
