ref-manual: Updated note about included failed license check

2017-03-24T23:44:03+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10898] It is hard to get the exact start and end for included license text during a LIC_FILES_CHKSUM operation. I updated the notes indicating that the QA message returned upon failure includes the attempted license text. The user can better adjust his LIC_FILES_CHKSUM statement to then dig out the proper text.

dev-manual, ref-manual: Added support for WKS_FILE_DEPENDS variable.

2017-03-24T23:44:02+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11017] There is no current way to specify or list plug-in dependencies when building a Wic image. The variable WKS_FILE_DEPENDS was introduced to allow the user to use this in the recipe building the image. I added a description and example of the variable to the ref-manual variable glossary. I also cross-referenced the variable in the "Plug-ins" section of the dev-manual to point to the variable for more information.

ref-manual: Added information about pre-installed dependencies

2017-03-24T23:44:02+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10350] A situation exists where a user deploys a new application using devtool target-deploy and the new application has runtime dependencies that are not already on the target. When this situation exists, the application misbehaves if it calls a missing function. I added the explanation of this situation to the section that describes the devtool deploy-target command. Also, put a pointer in the section on devtool add for cross-reference purposes.

ref-manual: Added new "Release Process" chapter

2017-03-24T23:44:02+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10888] The YP documentation was missing information on how the major and minor (point) release process works. I added a new chapter in front of the "Maintenance" chapter that details the naming schemes, cadence, and maintenance for YP releases.

ref-manual: Added five "COPYLEFT*" variables to the glossary.

2017-03-24T23:44:02+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11021] The "Maintaining Open Source License Compliance During Your Product's Lifecycle" section in the dev manual covers use of archiver.bbclass, but is missing mention of the filtering options (e.g COPYLEFT_LICENSE_INCLUDE, COPYLEFT_LICENSE_EXCLUDE and COPYLEFT_RECIPE_TYPES). I added descriptions for these three. During the write-up, Paul noticed a couple other variables missing: COPYLEFT_PN_INCLUDE and COPYLEFT_PN_EXCLUDE. I also added descriptions for these two variables. (From yocto-docs rev: 450311037ea3048d30057c0b9d294efd33db2d3c) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

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.

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