documentation: BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE suggestions

2011-11-25T15:24:19+00:00

Text that suggests setting the BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE variables to speed build time has been updated to suggest a setting of twice the number of host cores supported. The 2x number came to light through a discussion on the project mailing list initiated by Robert P. J. Day. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

documentation: Added footnote element to the stylesheets

2011-11-25T15:24:17+00:00

During development, a footnote was added to the Development manual. In order to get the footnote to display correctly, I had to introduce a footnote element in the style sheet. This commit propogates the style to the other manual CSS sheets. (From yocto-docs rev: 0439b46620125f2cb26dff4e8c79fc479205133a) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: fixed broken link

2011-11-25T15:24:17+00:00

"www" was messing up the link. Removed it. Reported-by: William Mills (From yocto-docs rev: ae7074325c78385684c51c06e8a27686e6fa1d05) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: Changed all manual links to point to "latest"

2011-11-25T15:24:17+00:00

There are many references to YP documentation throughout the YP manual set. They used to have hard-coded links to the current release (e.g. yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1 for Edison). This created a situation where if you went to a document on the website and clicked on a external reference to another manual, you would redirect to the current manual on the website. Really, you would want to go to the latest manual, which is one that is under development. Changing the links to "yoctoproject.org/docs/latest" makes the tip of master, which is used for devloping the next release, always have references to the manuals being developed and not back to the stable released set of manuals. This "latest" and "current" scheme for the links is not perfect. What has to happen when the latest set of the manuals freezes and becomes the next stable release, all the links in the docs will need to be changed from "latest" in the URL to the new release number. So for example, all the "latest" occurences would need to be changed to "1.2". Then for the next cycle as development begins again, the links need to be infused with "latest" again.

documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: Updated packages section

2011-11-25T15:24:16+00:00

Split the instructions for getting the packages needed for Yocto into sections that specifically support Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE. Also, added a couple packages to openSUSE. I did not implement a suggested change to include a note indicating future support of the dash shell since it probably is not good policy to document plans as they change.

documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: Robert P. J. Day Review

2011-11-01T17:44:01+00:00

As Reported By: Robert P. J. Day. Community member Robert P. J. Day scrubbed the Quick Start manual for Release 1.1. He found several areas that were incorrect. Many items were documented pre-release and changed during the actual realeas. Naming conventions for images and such had to be changed. Robert also found and suggested several wording changes that resulted in clearer text. I was not able to patch all the changes using the 'patch' command. I need to work out some process issues still in order to apply patches directly to the yocto-docs repository. Meanwhile, I hand-inserted the changes. Also, some text changes were modified slightly by me to conform to the books style, etc. Kudos to Robert for such a detailed look at the YP Quick Start.

documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: fix tarball URL

2011-10-31T22:37:09+00:00

Community member Robert P.J. Day pointed out that the URL used to reference the Edison tarball in the manual was incorrect. It was pointing to the old Poky area and not the Yocto-1.1 area. I have updated the example 'wget' command with the correct URL. (From yocto-docs rev: ba9deb4717b72b4d75c18870106607b1770ac45b) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: dyslexic statement fixed.

2011-10-31T22:37:08+00:00

I somehow had that having a host with multiple cores and threads could be used to increase the build time. It obviously should have been "decrease". Kudos to Bill Fishburn for finding this goof.

documentation: Cleaned out bad links and replaced with good

2011-10-13T23:31:11+00:00

The re-structuring of the web server that holds the documents created some bad links. I thought I had gotten them all but apparently not. this is a drawback of not being able to test things until after stuff is done. In any case, I grepped through everything and this takes care of it.

documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: release name and misc.

2011-10-06T17:46:55+00:00

I somehow had either dreamed the word "einstein" into the release for 1.1 and had it in there as part of the tarball name, etc. I have replaced this obviously with "edison." Other edits involved making the references to outside documents more consistent.
