ref-manual: Added warning for nativesdk recipe naming convention

2017-04-29T10:17:52+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #11411] To help clear up the importance of the naming convention a user must follow when creating a nativesdk-myrecipe.bb recipe that inherits the nativesdk class, I placed a warning note at the end of the section for the "nativesdk.bbclass" section.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Updates to support recipe-specific sysroots

2017-04-18T14:51:44+00:00

Changes covered several areas. Version 2.3 of the YP now supports recipe-specific sysroots and is not limited to machine-specific as was prior releases. Manual changes were as follows: dev-manual: "Sharing Files Between Recipes" - Wordings were changed to support the new functionality. ref-manual: do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task added to the list of tasks described in "Configuration and Compilation". ref-manual: Extensive re-write of the "staging.bbclass" section. ref-manual: Added a section to the build structure for build/tmp/work/tunearch/recipename/version/. This section breaks down the recipe-specific subdirectories used to create (stage) the sysroot. ref-manual: New section (entry) for the do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task in the task chapter. ref-manual: Added a variable glossary description for the SSTATE_SCAN_FILES variable. In addition to these changes, I sprinkled in a liberal amount of cross-referencing for the readers pleasure.

dev-manual, ref-manual: Edits to the "Incrementing Binary Package" section.

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10995] I applied some revisions to the related sections for incrementing a binary package version and revision sections. Mainly clarified terminology and pulled the sections into one single section head. I also cleaned up referencing to all these sections throughout the YP manual set (i.e. the ref-manual).

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10995] For the dev-manual, I added a new section on incrementing package revision numbers that explains how the build system uses various variables to create linearly numbered revisions for packages.

2017-04-12T18:35:00+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #8596] Added a new section to describe the right way to use headers to interface to a device or custom Linux kernel API. Too often a user wants to modify the libc header file, which absolutely wrong. This new section provides some guidance.
