ref-manual, yocto-project-qs: Notes and infor for buildtools issues

2014-03-25T12:29:45+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4866] Updated the main area where it talks about needing the right versions of Git, tar, and Python. You can get this set up using a couple methods. I documented both. The changes in the FAQ and in the QS are basically notes that point to that section for more information.

The FAQ entry for the information on adding a package to your image changed regarding the cross-reference. I updated it to the new anchor tag. (From yocto-docs rev: 6c6b4cced41354412dc8c8d3c99d69f3a7cc8a95) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Updated the FAQ entry for how to use an external toolchain.

2014-01-02T13:16:09+00:00

We no longer have the external-sourcery.bb recipe. Had to rewrite this around it. (From yocto-docs rev: 4b0e3860216092461862d29b3a53a834f8dd43b2) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Removed FAQ entry about running on RHEL/CentOS 5.1.

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

We don't even support these Linux distributions. We should not have a FAQ entry telling people how to deal with it. If the distro is that "hot", we should take steps to support it.

ref-manual: Updated the FAQ entry about old Python version

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

I re-wrote this FAQ entry to indicate more recent versions of Python and to leverage off the way we can now download or build out the buildtools. Reported-by: Paul Eggleton (From yocto-docs rev: a4743936fa6dcd9449f0def771d116c53db7aa7e) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake feature

2013-09-12T15:50:10+00:00

The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry in the glossary. All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality into areas where running the setup script are discussed. Before this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env). Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this single method. With the introduction of a second possible method to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were needed. Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing was also needed. All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.

bsp-guide, ref-manual: Various fixes from Robert P. J. Day review.

2013-05-22T16:23:37+00:00

Robert read through the BSP Guide and noted several issues. There were several typos, inacurracies for crown bay code, out-dated kernel usage example, etc. One change I had to make that was related was to fix two cross-reference links to a re-named section. These links were the changes in the FAQ chapter of the ref-manual. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
