ref-manual: Added information for OEROOT and build environment

2013-09-12T15:50:12+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4980] Added a new glossary entry for OEROOT. Added significant information to the local.conf and bblayers.conf reference sections to describe how the root build directory is derived. Also, some unrelated formatting to the DL_DIR variable description was mixed in here because I forgot to commit that separatey and it lives in the same variables.xml file.

Fixes [YOCTO #2808] I tweaked the SCM box in the figure so that the connection to real SCMs is better. This was causing confusion. (From yocto-docs rev: f4080315ab6b57068ab2fbb948c52f731d1ea5dd) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual: Added new section on how to exclude a package

2013-09-12T15:50:10+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4079] The changes here address the documentation component of this bug. There is now a new section in the dev-manual in the "Working With Packages" section that describes and introduces the three variables the user can use to control this feature: BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS, NO_RECOMMENDATIONS, and PACKAGE_EXCLUDE.

documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake feature

2013-09-12T15:50:10+00:00

The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry in the glossary. All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality into areas where running the setup script are discussed. Before this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env). Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this single method. With the introduction of a second possible method to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were needed. Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing was also needed. All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.
