ref-manual/structure.rst: remove shared PERSISTENT_DIR mentions

2025-07-15T12:57:32+00:00

PERSISTENT_DIR should _not_ be shared, I got that wrong in my previous commit 741aa29898dc ("ref-manual/structure.rst: update with info on PERSISTENT_DIR"). Remove these mentions.

ref-manual/structure.rst: update with info on PERSISTENT_DIR

2025-07-11T12:30:44+00:00

Since we mention that SSTATE_DIR can be shared for multiple builds, also mention that PERSISTENT_DIR should be shared alongside SSTATE_DIR. [YOCTO #15921] (From yocto-docs rev: 741aa29898dc7f34ebd423ff7565334b2c89e18c) Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual/yocto-project-supported-features: add ppc maintainers

2025-06-30T16:44:22+00:00

PowerPC (32-bit) remains relevant for our use cases, and we aim to maintain support as long as it is feasible with reasonable effort. For transparency, our primary focus is on maintaining core-image-minimal. Support for more complex images may be limited unless additional contributors join, as ongoing testing and maintenance of these images may not be feasible otherwise.

ref-manual: drop a sentence about a 'legacy way' to specify UNPACKDIR

2025-06-30T16:44:21+00:00

This wasn't specific, and is obsolete: UNPACKDIR should not be set by recipes at all, except in very special circumstances (e.g. gcc/clang unpacking into work-shared).
