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

2013-05-31T07:19:21+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.

dev-manual, kernel-manual: Added links to THISDIR variable

2013-05-31T07:19:20+00:00

There is now a glossary description for the THISDIR variable in ref-manual. I added some cross-reference links to the variable in key places of these two manuals. (From yocto-docs rev: 0d0f756c142c506a66ebc6a1a33e9f124dafd333) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

tools: Bumped version to 1.5

2013-05-31T07:19:20+00:00

This sed script needs to process the correct version of the release. I changed from 1.4 to 1.5. (From yocto-docs rev: 8a27243191408b0bc58803d21a6853283d0b3c6a) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: Updated note for FILESEXTRAPATHS variable.

2013-05-31T07:19:20+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. (From yocto-docs rev: d5789c98fe570f48de8546d1fc218b4d5c577d0e) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Updated wording about Git

2013-05-31T07:19:20+00:00

I removed the statement saying that checking out a Git repository is a backup of the repo. Technically, that is not true. It would be more of a clone operation. The statement was superfluous anyway so I decided to remove it altogether.

ref-manual: Added xmlto and dblatex packages for docs

2013-05-22T16:23:41+00:00

These two packages are required for all the supported distros if you are going to build the BitBake manual. (From yocto-docs rev: 76b19462aa1dd850c00b7addccdafcc0f1a67e1c) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Updates to "Creating the Append File" section.

2013-05-22T16:23:41+00:00

Pointed out by Robert P. J. Day that I was using the wrong FILESEXTRAPATHS example for an append file. I failed to include the "_prepend" part of the variable. Also, the wording based on the example made some assumptions and was not entirely accurate. The changes I put in made the section very specific. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

ref-manual: Added more detail to note for FILESEXTRAPATHS use.

2013-05-22T16:23:41+00:00

Some discussion about this variable indicated that the importance of the immediate expansion operator was not being called out enough. I added further information to the existing note that states to be sure to use ":=" when using the variable.
