documentation: link to the Releases page on yoctoproject.org instead of wiki

2025-11-26T15:50:36+00:00

We have a machine-generated Releases page[1] which is preferable to the wiki.

overview-manual: migrate to SVG + fix typo

2025-11-26T15:50:36+00:00

The original PNG had a typo (YP-Comptible instead of YP-Compatible). Instead of patching a PNG, let's migrate to an SVG with the typo already fixed. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

dev-manual: debugging: use bitbake-getvar in Viewing Variable Values section

2025-11-26T15:50:36+00:00

We should recommend using bitbake-getvar command wherever possible as its output is much less confusing and overwhelming than bitbake -e. Unfortunately, bitbake-getvar currently doesn't list Python tasks or functions, unlike bitbake -e, so keep the latter for some corner cases.

ref-manual: variables: migrate the OVERRIDES note to bitbake-getvar

2025-11-26T15:50:36+00:00

Wherever possible, we should use bitbake-getvar as it's the recommended tool so let's do that.

kernel-dev: common: migrate bitbake -e to bitbake-getvar

2025-11-26T15:50:36+00:00

It's recommended to use bitbake-getvar for a few releases now so let's use that instead of bitbake -e. While at it, use a cross-reference for "OpenEmbedded Build System".
