ref-manual: Removed package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot

2017-01-25T12:07:43+00:00

The generated package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot stuff contains partial data about the taskgraph and tends to confuse users. Richard Purdie suggested removing these from bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py. I have removed the references to them in the "Viewing Dependencies Between Recipes and Tasks" section of the ref-manual.

yocto-project-qs, ref-manual: Added note for "resources temporarily unavailable" error

2017-01-11T17:23:18+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10818] There is a weird and intermittant error that can occur on any given distribution that has a 4.3+ Linux kernel and a version 228+ systemd. The error happens during an initial build of an image and indicates that resources are unavailable. Investigation determines that resources are available. The combination of the kernel and the systemd in a distro is causing issues when a distro is upgraded. yocto-project-qs: I added a note in the two areas where the user is stepped through the bitbake process to build an image. The note mentions the possibility of the error, the host configuration situation, and a couple work-arounds, which are to reboot the machine or to set the "DefaultTaskMax" systemd parameter to "infinity". ref-manual: Added the same note in the "Building an Image" section.

ref-manual: Added note about bb.fatal() raising an exception.

2016-10-11T07:51:22+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10363] Added a small note to the bullet item about bb.fatal(). Noted that the function raises an exception so the user does not have to put a "return" statement after the function call.

ref-manual: Added explanation of the -C option

2016-10-11T07:51:21+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10345] There was no mention of the -C option in the "Running Specific Tasks" section. I added information to cover this command-line option. (From yocto-docs rev: 7b05c5dd3816414c1d3ca898fbd41ce588425057) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Added two new tips

2016-09-28T14:02:32+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10297] Updated the "Other Tips" section to include a couple new tips. * Remove the /tmp directory as a way to work-around temporary build issues. * Create a little method to help you search the massive amounts of bits for whatever. Also, suggested filing bugs against the docs if a feature is too hard to find or figure out.

2016-09-28T14:02:32+00:00
