ref-manual: Edits to SRC_URI, FILESPATH, and FILESEXTRAPATHS.

2013-04-17T21:34:37+00:00

Applied some review comments from Paul. Took the warning formatting out because it sucks. (From yocto-docs rev: 6c4162777cb686c8b24b15ded2594f4f4a6acba6) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Updates to the FILESPATH variable.

2013-04-17T21:34:37+00:00

Added some more clarity about how this variable works and the implications for using the default setting from the base.bbclass file. Namely, if you are going to have the build system look for files in your layer and your layer uses an append file, then you need to also use the FILESEXTRAPATHS variable to extend FILESPATHS.

ref-manual: Edits to clear up the SRC_URI variable description.

2013-04-17T21:34:37+00:00

I found it confusing due to not specifically accounting for .bb and .bbappend files. I added some wording to clearly specify use given the two types of "recipes". Specifically, if you are going to use a SRC_URI statment from an append file, the user really should be aware that they will need to extend the FILESPATH variable by also using FILESEXTRAPATHS from within that append file.

The series of changes represents his review for the entire set of changes in the original patch series.
