dev-manual/building: document the initramfs-framework recipe

2025-02-05T14:54:35+00:00

[ YOCTO #14747 ] Adding a initramfs is a common task, and the way oe-core offers to do so is by using the initramfs-framework recipe and companion modules. There was already documentation on adding an initramfs but the documentation was lacking details on this framework. Add it before the multiconfig section because it is a bit more important IMO.

test-manual/reproducible-builds: fix reproducible links

2025-01-24T15:49:28+00:00

We don't run reproducible-builds on specific distros anymore, but on a distro at random depending on what is available on the Autobuilder. Fix the link to this builder and remove distro specific ones.

Update autobuilder URLs to valkyrie

2025-01-24T15:49:28+00:00

We have moved to Valkyrie which is hosted on https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie. Update the URL in the documentation. Also, the YOCTO_AB_URL macro was used in a single location in the documentation so replace it by the :yocto_ab: custom extlink and remove the macro.

ref-manual: move runtime-testing section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

In the same fashion as the previous commit ("ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual"), move the runtime testing section of the development tasks manual to the test environment manual. Add a link to it from the test-manual/intro document.

ref-manual/packages: move ptest section to the test-manual

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

[ YOCTO #15106 ] It makes more sense to document ptests in the test-manual. Since ptests are still related to packages, keep a link to ptests from packages.rst to the test-manual.

SSTATE_MIRRORS/SOURCE_MIRROR_URL: add instructions for mirror authentication

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

[ YOCTO #15218 ] There are different ways of configuring the build host when authentication to a mirror (SSTATE_MIRRORS or SOURCE_MIRROR_URL) is required. Document these methods, and begin with the preferred approach which is to edit ~/.netrc appropriately. When that is not possible, specifying the credentials from the URL is also possible, so document it as well.

ref-manual/devtool-reference: add warning note on deploy-target and shared objects

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

The command `devtool deploy-target` does not handle any dependency of the application, even when properly listed in DEPENDS or RDEPENDS. While the current documentation was clear on that, it felt needed to add a note on the fact that build-time dependencies may also result in runtime dependencies, especially for people new to the project. Add a warning block below the existing deploy-target documentation. Also, link to the Overview and Concepts page, which explains it thoroughly.

contributor-guide/submit-changes.rst: suggest to remove the git signature

2025-01-09T16:41:04+00:00

By default when sending patches Git adds the git version at the bottom of the patch, which is not necessary in most cases. Suggest to remove it when configuring Git when sending patches.
