ref-manual: Added new chapter on task documentation

2014-05-13T06:50:58+00:00

Changes to support a new chapter on the 51 tasks that the OpenEmbedded build system defines. The changes include a new file called ref-tasks.xml, changes to the ref-manual.xml building file to include the new chapter, and a new bullet item to the list that describes what is in the reference manual.

2014-04-21T21:47:10+00:00

I get this list from meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf. (From yocto-docs rev: 796d4eced50d14203f1a791ff557a4016f4dd031) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Updated the "Introduction" section.

2014-03-30T09:18:38+00:00

During the read-through, I noticed that I did not have a complete list of YP manuals in the "Introduction" section. I also added the new BitBake manual to the list of external manuals.

ref-manual: Updated the laundry list of what sections are in the manual.

2014-03-30T09:18:38+00:00

This had been negleted and many new sections were not on the list. It is all up to date now. (From yocto-docs rev: 3291491ec41146a1dfa0cb2f1387fba85b1c7d24) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Removed the BitBake chapter.

2014-03-30T09:18:38+00:00

This information now exists in the separate BitBake User Manual. To remove this information, the ref-bitbake.xml file was taken out of the ref-manual.xml build, an overview bullet describing BitBake chapter was removed from the "Introduction" chapter, and one cross-reference link to a sub-section of the old BitBake chapter had to be re-routed into the similar section of the BitBake Manaul.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Point out "xterm" needed for eclipse use.

2014-03-30T09:18:37+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #5766] In the ref-manual, I added "Eclipse" use in the title for the "Graphics Support" packages because the "xterm" package is required for graphics support across all distributions. In the dev-manual, I specifically called out the need for "xterm" as a host package at the top of the section describing workflow with Eclipse. I also updated the cross-reference links to the host package and Linux distro requirements to point into the ref-manual, which is more comprehensive, than into the QS.

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.
