ref-manual; mega-manual: Edits to further define packaging process

2015-05-03T10:49:34+00:00

In response to community input where developers were attempting to locate information on how to write packages out to a directory other than ${DEPLOY_DIR}/, I updated the "Package Feeds" section, added several new DEPLOY_DIR_* variables, updated four classes, and updated four tasks. Here are some details: * Made changes to the "Package Feeds" section to provide more accurate information in the package feeds directory structure used by the build system in build/tmp. These changes included updating the figure itself and some explanatory text. * Updated the DEPLOY_DIR variable description. * Added new variable descriptions for DEPLOY_DIR_DEB, DEPLOY_DIR_IPK, DEPLOY_DIR_RPM, and DEPLOY_DIR_TAR. * Updated the related classes: package_deb, package_ipk, package_rpm, and package_tar. * Updated the related tasks: do_package_write_deb, do_package_write_ipk, do_package_write_rpm, and do_package_write_tar.

ref-manual: 13 new variables added to the glossary.

2015-02-17T15:16:48+00:00

Added descriptions for the following variables: EXTRA_AUTORECONF KERNEL_IMAGE_MAXSIZE UPDATERCPN AUTO_LIBNAME_PKGS DEBIANNAME DEBIAN_NOAUTONAME TCLIBCAPPEND PACKAGEGROUP_DISABLE_COMPLEMENTARY CLEANBROKEN DISTRO_CODENAME BASE_WORKDIR DISTRO_FEATURES_DEFAULT DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC Part of adding new variables is checking to see if a previously undocumented variable is used elsewhere in the manual. One occurrence was spotted and turned into a link for this list. (From yocto-docs rev: bb75387b7aa4fcb0b594d300772952d81a651644) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Scrubbed for variable (user) input.

2014-10-18T14:15:30+00:00

Throughout the manual I had been using angled bracket sets to denote user-supplied input. This is confusing and better shown by using the tags. I scrubbed all the chapters and replaced as needed. Some other minor formatting changes were caught and fixed during the scrub as well.

ref-manual: Edits to several tasks that do a bit of "cleaning"

2014-06-18T09:30:50+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #1949] Updated the following tasks to note that they "clean" out some areas when run: do_populate_sysroot do_deploy Also made some notes to the do_cleansstate task about attempting to clean remote mirrors. And, made a change to do_cleanall to specifically mention that DL_DIR is cleaned.

ref-manual: Added links to new do_* sections.

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

With the creation of the new chapter that documents the 51 tasks defined by the OpenEmbedded build system, the remainder of the ref-manual had many first-instance occurrences of do_* task names that could be cross-referenced to the new sections. I have added these links. (From yocto-docs rev: 2ff39bd226a1d8f11924283bbaa3542a9d936ba3) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
