documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-how-to.xml: edits to tree construction

2012-03-08T20:07:45+00:00

I made some clarifying edits to the section that describes how the YP team constructs the kernel repositories (the tree). There were some things that just weren't clear. (From yocto-docs rev: 127f0c8c89ec9b926a4ff348acc39a73f41e6fe7) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-how-to.xml: links to manuals removed

2012-03-08T20:07:44+00:00

Several redundant links existed to manuals that are not required to be linked. The actual link takes the reader to the section being referenced. Then, after the link, the manual is referenced. Previously, the manual was also linked. We don't need these links to the manuals.

documentation: Changed all manual links to point to "latest"

2011-11-25T15:24:17+00:00

There are many references to YP documentation throughout the YP manual set. They used to have hard-coded links to the current release (e.g. yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1 for Edison). This created a situation where if you went to a document on the website and clicked on a external reference to another manual, you would redirect to the current manual on the website. Really, you would want to go to the latest manual, which is one that is under development. Changing the links to "yoctoproject.org/docs/latest" makes the tip of master, which is used for devloping the next release, always have references to the manuals being developed and not back to the stable released set of manuals. This "latest" and "current" scheme for the links is not perfect. What has to happen when the latest set of the manuals freezes and becomes the next stable release, all the links in the docs will need to be changed from "latest" in the URL to the new release number. So for example, all the "latest" occurences would need to be changed to "1.2". Then for the next cycle as development begins again, the links need to be infused with "latest" again.

documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-how-to.xml: Updated build strategy

2011-10-04T12:46:43+00:00

This section used the term "tree construction" somewhat out of context. The section really focuses on what the build process and the user does prior to compilation. I changed wording to indicate the tree is validated to be sure that the SRC_URI point to the right stuff and that the BSP build branch exists.

documentation/kernel-manual: Scrub for 1.1

2011-10-04T12:46:41+00:00

I went through and made sure examples are relevant, wording is correct, large blocks of unused text was removed, and some references included to other YP documents. (From yocto-docs rev: 2231082530dd9cecc234f5f024c4e246afb2968d) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-how-to.xml: Tree Construction section further explained

2011-07-21T09:59:21+00:00

Added text to help put tree construction into context with the developer. The section felt as if the developer needed to be taking action on the steps when in reality the steps are describing a lot of "behind-the-scenes" stuff that happens when the YP tree is constructed.
