ref-manual: Added versioning to some R* variables

2013-09-22T11:20:48+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4987] Added some versioning operators to the RCONFLICTS, RREPLACES, and RRECOMMENDS variables. I am using the same base text to get this information across. Because it is a referenced glossary, the duplication is acceptable. (From yocto-docs rev: 47613f962c945e06710ba2e14e0eb5f1f11d0336) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual, yocto-project-qs: Explanations for Git tarballs

2013-09-22T11:20:48+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #5035] By default, the DL_DIR does not get files from Git repositories that are suitable for mirroring. There is a work-around by using the BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS variable, which, when set, causes the build system to generate tarballs for the Git repositories and place them in the DL_DIR. To address this, I added a new variable description for the BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS varible, updated the DL_DIR variable to indicate that "out-of-the-box" the YP puts suitable mirror files into the DL_DIR for everthing except Git repositories. Some other sections were updated where discussion revolved around pulling down source files. The QS had a spot where the BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS variable was actually used in an example. And, the expanded discussion on the BitBake process had a couple spots that deserved a mention.

ref-manual: New BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS variable.

2013-09-22T11:20:48+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #5035] Added a new glossary entry for BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS and updated the DL_DIR entry to note the ability to get these tarballs into DL_DIR. Cross-referenced the new variable from DL_DIR as well. (From yocto-docs rev: 361000877f2a13b13154e437a6c28839fa58cd5e) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: fixed alphabetical order for glossary entries.

2013-09-22T11:20:48+00:00

Several glossary entries were not in the correct alphabeitical order. (From yocto-docs rev: 0b2559cca79a74043e73fd14eba330025e84f30a) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual, mega-manual: Updates to "Image Generation"

2013-09-22T11:20:48+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #2808] Updated the figure and placed it in the folders area for both the ref-manual and mega-manual. I had to add the DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE variable and create a new machine-specific directory below deploy. The text had to be adjusted to reflect this change as well. Also, created a new variable entry for DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE for the glossary of the ref-manual.

ref-manual: Updated the RDEPENDS variable to include syntax

2013-09-22T11:20:47+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4987] This variable supports some boolean operators that we are not showing for supporting versioned dependencies. I added the explanation for them. There will be other variables affected later once we settle on the changes here.
