Update autobuilder URLs to valkyrie

2025-01-20T13:45:06+00:00

We have moved to Valkyrie which is hosted on https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie. Update the URL in the documentation. Also, the YOCTO_AB_URL macro was used in a single location in the documentation so replace it by the :yocto_ab: custom extlink and remove the macro.

ref-manual: move runtime-testing section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T13:58:17+00:00

In the same fashion as the previous commit ("ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual"), move the runtime testing section of the development tasks manual to the test environment manual. Add a link to it from the test-manual/intro document. (From yocto-docs rev: 6b44257874858db3aa426d3e84a79c41cb4937a3) Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T13:58:17+00:00

[ YOCTO #15106 ] It makes more sense to document ptests in the test-manual. Since ptests are still related to packages, keep a link to ptests from packages.rst to the test-manual.

SSTATE_MIRRORS/SOURCE_MIRROR_URL: add instructions for mirror authentication

2025-01-09T13:58:17+00:00

[ YOCTO #15218 ] There are different ways of configuring the build host when authentication to a mirror (SSTATE_MIRRORS or SOURCE_MIRROR_URL) is required. Document these methods, and begin with the preferred approach which is to edit ~/.netrc appropriately. When that is not possible, specifying the credentials from the URL is also possible, so document it as well.

ref-manual/devtool-reference: add warning note on deploy-target and shared objects

2025-01-09T13:58:17+00:00

The command `devtool deploy-target` does not handle any dependency of the application, even when properly listed in DEPENDS or RDEPENDS. While the current documentation was clear on that, it felt needed to add a note on the fact that build-time dependencies may also result in runtime dependencies, especially for people new to the project. Add a warning block below the existing deploy-target documentation. Also, link to the Overview and Concepts page, which explains it thoroughly.
