dev-manual, ref-manual, poky.ent: Fixed broken Release Note scheme

2013-05-31T07:19:21+00:00

The URL naming convention for the YP Release Notes has changed. It now takes the following form: http://www.yoctoproject.org/download/yoctoproject-15-poky-1000 The above is an example for YP Release 1.5 and poky release 10.0.0. I have set up three new variables in the poky.ent file to somewhat automate the links in the docs to point to the location of a given set of release notes: 1. DISTRO_COMPRESSED - set to the DISTRO string with no period (e.g 15 for 1.5). 2. POKYVERSION_COMPRESSED - set to the poky version with no periods (e.g. 1000 for 10.0.0). 3. YOCTO_RELEASE_NOTES - set to the full-blown release note URL. I made two changes to existing links for the Release Notes. One was in the dev-manual and one was in the ref-manual.

ref-manual: Added xmlto and dblatex packages for docs

ref-manual: Added more detail to note for FILESEXTRAPATHS use.

2013-05-22T16:23:41+00:00

Some discussion about this variable indicated that the importance of the immediate expansion operator was not being called out enough. I added further information to the existing note that states to be sure to use ":=" when using the variable.
