ref-manual: remove core-image-directfb reference

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

core-image-directfb was removed from oe-core with this commit: remove core-image-directfb.bb as part of moving directfb from oe-core (From OE-Core rev: 8871fe1189776d78e5848b08edb9c990b9aebf2d) I made the similar change to the ref-manual by removing it from the "Images" chapter.

ref-manual: Removed package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot

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

The generated package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot stuff contains partial data about the taskgraph and tends to confuse users. Richard Purdie suggested removing these from bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py. I have removed the references to them in the "Viewing Dependencies Between Recipes and Tasks" section of the ref-manual.

yocto-project-qs, poky.ent: Added "pexpect" to essential packages

2017-01-23T22:38:49+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10889] Missing this package. Speculation is that this package was part of the Python 2.7 stuff but not Python 3. So, adding it clears the issue up. (From yocto-docs rev: c61672267f872ed0f57ecf83d86b0d96080aac51) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

poky.ent: Added "pip3" as an essential host installation package

2017-01-20T11:57:25+00:00

Apparently, this package dropped out when migrating to Python3. So, I have added it to all the supported distributions as an essential package. Fixes [YOCTO #10909] (From yocto-docs rev: e5f915fb80fc36db515ad5a56bc31228a7f875d3) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

poky.ent: Updated the Ubuntu/Debian Essential package list

2017-01-20T11:57:25+00:00

Fixed [YOCTO #10854] BitBake fails on a new Ubuntu/Debian installation unless the "cpio", "Python", and "python3" packages are installed. I added these to the essentials list variable for the distro. Affects both the YP Quick Start and YP ref-manual. (From yocto-docs rev: 7a0ef9a85404ef4478bae103d1ea47c3e1c675f0) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

poky.ent: Added Essential packages to Fedora and openSUSE

2017-01-20T11:57:25+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10855] On Fedora version 24, missing packages were preventing BitBake from running. These essential packages included "python", "cpio", and "file". Also, missing for openSUSE were "python3", "python3-curses", and "tar". I added these sets of packages to the essentials variable for each of the hosts involved. They resolve to both the YP Quick Start and YP Reference Manual, appropriately.

dev-manual: Updated the "How to Submit a Change" section.

2017-01-20T11:57:25+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10905] I updated the section with suggested improvements for completeness. The section has been broken into more subsections and provides the reader with more direction on mailing lists based on components changed.

ref-manual: Updated LIC_FILES_CHKSUM example

2017-01-20T11:57:25+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10898] No information indicated the use of "endline" and "beginline" in the examples setting LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. I added a note indicating that line numbering starts with one and the "endline" value is inclusive.

yocto-project-qs: Updated Manual Note information on title page

2017-01-20T11:57:25+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10076] Added a new note for where the reader can find the most recent version of the manual dictated by release or in-progress work. (From yocto-docs rev: 8c2bd2a72ba89354027fa87872395d5b727c8b90) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

yocto-project-qs, ref-manual: Added note for "resources temporarily unavailable" error

2017-01-11T17:23:18+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10818] There is a weird and intermittant error that can occur on any given distribution that has a 4.3+ Linux kernel and a version 228+ systemd. The error happens during an initial build of an image and indicates that resources are unavailable. Investigation determines that resources are available. The combination of the kernel and the systemd in a distro is causing issues when a distro is upgraded. yocto-project-qs: I added a note in the two areas where the user is stepped through the bitbake process to build an image. The note mentions the possibility of the error, the host configuration situation, and a couple work-arounds, which are to reboot the machine or to set the "DefaultTaskMax" systemd parameter to "infinity". ref-manual: Added the same note in the "Building an Image" section.
