manuals: document VIRTUAL-RUNTIME variables

2024-03-06T16:54:54+00:00

Document the convention to use variables prefixed by VIRTUAL_RUNTIME. Add references to the new term where possible. Another reason is that such variables are recommended in a warning issued by meta/classes-global/insane.bbclass (From yocto-docs rev: 11e1ba97edac979868f199e43c1004db6678044c) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reported-by: Tim Orling Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: variables: adding multiple groups in GROUPADD_PARAM

2024-03-06T16:54:54+00:00

Add missing documentation on how to add multiple groups with a single GROUPADD_PARAM:${PN} (From yocto-docs rev: e55d2aa6a0ee58ee980de2a6ca8d531c7c0cd44a) Signed-off-by: Geoff Parker Reviewed-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: variables: correct sdk installation default path

2024-03-06T16:54:54+00:00

The SDKPATH variable seems mistakenly identified as the default path where the SDK will be installed by the generated installation script, unless option '-d' or a manual input overrides this default. The intended variable is SDKPATHINSTALL. SDKPATH indicates where the SDK is being composed and built. The definitions have been added/updated.

ref-manual: variables: remove PYTHON_PN

2024-02-24T16:13:29+00:00

PYTHON_PN is on its way out, therefore it's good to remove it from documentation so its use is not promoted anymore. (From yocto-docs rev: 74180c0f6bcdeadbd6f9a69d26f733c716f420fd) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj Reviewed-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-02-24T16:13:28+00:00

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are" by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural. In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx" by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at the end of the sentence. In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when it's redundant with the preceding title.

documentation: Add UBOOT_BINARY, extend UBOOT_CONFIG

2024-01-12T11:34:06+00:00

UBOOT_CONFIG accepts a third parameter for the UBOOT_BINARY that isn't documented. To show its usage another example from the meta-freescale layer was picked.

ref-manual: Fix reference to MIRRORS/PREMIRRORS defaults

2023-11-20T10:59:40+00:00

After the following meta-yocto commits, MIRRORS & PREMIRRORS are no longer set in the poky distro config file: 67b79df4fbff ("poky.conf: remove redundant MIRRORS") 1b71a3b9418f ("poky: Drop PREMIRRORS entries for scms") (From yocto-docs rev: bc84dd0b6cdb1b2432ae60c036df9ee15cd53f34) Signed-off-by: Paul Barker Reviewed-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: remove semicolons from *PROCESS_COMMAND variables

2023-11-06T22:52:27+00:00

In nanbield these are no longer needed - spaces are sufficient. The code still handles any semicolons (replacing them with spaces before interpreting the value), but let's avoid people adding them from now on in case we decide to change that in future.

ref-manual: update SDK_NAME variable documentation

2023-11-06T22:52:27+00:00

Update for changes in nanbield. Note that I am documenting what is set by poky.conf here (since this is Yocto Project documentation), which is slightly different from what is done in meta/conf/bitbake.conf.
