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

2013-05-31T07:19:26+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 new THISDIR variable and fixed some minor issues.

2013-05-31T07:19:25+00:00

1. Added a new glossary entry for the THISDIR variable. 2. Inserted a link in the note of the FILESEXTRAPATHS variable to the new THISDIR glossary entry. (From yocto-docs rev: 26c6ea33c245480ca2c74b290b07627371dc811c) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Updated note for FILESEXTRAPATHS variable.

2013-05-31T07:19:25+00:00

Added a bit more clarification (different wording) on why to use the immediate expansion operator and on why to include the trailing separating colon character.

ref-manual: Added Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) to supported distros list

2013-05-22T16:23:47+00:00

Somehow, this was left off the list when dylan released. I have added it to the tip of the dylan tree and it will at least appear in the 1.4.1 ref-manual. (From yocto-docs rev: b011d6a4ebcef5014c7b887b3cda8786712fcff5) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: Updates to dylan tip for upcoming 1.4.1 release.

2013-05-22T16:23:46+00:00

I updated the poky.ent file to include the "1.4.1" version string and the "9.0.1" string. I also updated all the manuals that have a manual revision history table so that the latest entry indicates the 1.4.1 release and has a place-holder for the date.

ref-manual: Edits to SRC_URI, FILESPATH, and FILESEXTRAPATHS.

2013-04-17T21:34:37+00:00

Applied some review comments from Paul. Took the warning formatting out because it sucks. (From yocto-docs rev: 6c4162777cb686c8b24b15ded2594f4f4a6acba6) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Updates to the FILESPATH variable.

2013-04-17T21:34:37+00:00

Added some more clarity about how this variable works and the implications for using the default setting from the base.bbclass file. Namely, if you are going to have the build system look for files in your layer and your layer uses an append file, then you need to also use the FILESEXTRAPATHS variable to extend FILESPATHS.

ref-manual: Edits to clear up the SRC_URI variable description.

2013-04-17T21:34:37+00:00

I found it confusing due to not specifically accounting for .bb and .bbappend files. I added some wording to clearly specify use given the two types of "recipes". Specifically, if you are going to use a SRC_URI statment from an append file, the user really should be aware that they will need to extend the FILESPATH variable by also using FILESEXTRAPATHS from within that append file.
