ref-manual: Updated the MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS variable

2015-10-21T22:06:35+00:00

MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS won't always grab your out-of-tree module recipe since the kernel recipe's PACKAGES_DYNAMIC variable provides kernel-module-*. This patch documents that your out-of-tree module needs to explicitly set its PACKAGES variable to avoid this behavior.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Applied feedback to edit several classes

2015-10-21T22:06:34+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #8298] Updated several classes with feedback from Jose Lamego of Intel. The feedback fixed some class groupings so that previously isolated classes could be bundled under common classes (e.g. autotools*.bbclass). I scrubbed the cross-references for cases where a particular class became "undocumented." The cross-references now point to the bundled class entry in the ref-manual.

ref-manual: Added three PACKAGE_FEED_* variable descriptions

2015-10-21T22:06:34+00:00

Fixes [YOCOT #8301] Added descriptions for PACKAGE_FEED_ARCHS, PACKAGE_FEED_BASE_PATHS, and PACKAGE_FEED_URIS variables. The build system uses these three variables to construct a set of final package feed URIs.

ref-manual: Updates to clarify Fetcher URL directory parameters

2015-10-21T22:06:33+00:00

Updated the SRC_URI variable description to cross-reference the "Fetchers" section in the BitBake User Manual and added some more Fetcher URL parameters specific to certain fetchers. This was done to help clarify how to put fetched code into specific directories. Also updated the bin_packages.bbclass description to have a better example. Used a git:// fetcher example and provided some specific URL parameters. (From yocto-docs rev: 7133b49092096c253ffce99f39d4fa6db7810061) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
