ref-manual: Updated NO_RECOMMENDATIONS glossary entry

2017-02-19T14:59:51+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11010] The second example was incorrect in the glossary entry. Instead of "1" an image name place holder was in the example. I put "1" in there. (From yocto-docs rev: 00ab787d0d90da5c6d384c3669e804c9b2baca53) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: Updated "latest manual" note on title page

2017-02-19T14:59:51+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10076] The note on the title page for each manual was brief regarding where to find the latest version of the manual. I updated the note to have more detailed information on finding current, alternate, and latest versions of the manual based on YP releases.

ref-manual: remove core-image-directfb reference

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

core-image-directfb was removed from oe-core with this commit: remove core-image-directfb.bb as part of moving directfb from oe-core (From OE-Core rev: 8871fe1189776d78e5848b08edb9c990b9aebf2d) I made the similar change to the ref-manual by removing it from the "Images" chapter.

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.

ref-manual: Updated LIC_FILES_CHKSUM example

2017-01-20T11:57:25+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10898] No information indicated the use of "endline" and "beginline" in the examples setting LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. I added a note indicating that line numbering starts with one and the "endline" value is inclusive.

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: New VOLATILE_LOG_DIR variable description

2017-01-11T17:23:17+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #6132] No mention of how to make the target directory /var/log persistent. I added a note to the "post-install-logging" image feature that points to the new VOLATILE_LOG_DIR variable description, which I added to the glossary.

dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on initramfs

2017-01-11T17:23:17+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #7096] We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included with a kernel build. Various variables sort of inferred the knowledge. I created a new section in the "Common Tasks" section of the dev-manual that describes how to create an initramfs image. Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back to the new "how-to" section. Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various related variables back to the new "how-to" section.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Removed term "wic-partitioned"

2017-01-11T17:23:17+00:00

This term was incorrect and I have replaced it with the term "partitioned." (From yocto-docs rev: 50dd5c6994a2f799fdaf1ccbf7138b0074e981ee) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
