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

2025-01-09T14:02:49+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

2025-01-09T14:02:49+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

2025-01-09T14:02:49+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

2025-01-09T14:02:49+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

2025-01-09T14:02:49+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.

reproducible-builds.rst: show how to build a single package

2025-01-09T14:02:49+00:00

Add a bit to the "Can we prove the project is reproducible?" section to show how OEQA_REPRODUCIBLE_TEST_TARGET can be used to test a single package (rather than the world build), as this may be useful for maintainers.

dev-manual/bmaptool.rst: simplify and fix instructions

2024-12-26T14:01:37+00:00

- Remove duplicate instructions - Detail how to run bmaptool directly if you installed it on your host instead of building it through the ``bmaptool-native`` recipe, as running "oe-run-native bmaptool-native bmaptool ..." won't work in this case. - Use "chmod a+w" instead of "chmod 666", better advice, and only run "chmod" in the option that runs "oe-run-native" (From yocto-docs rev: 8e6b07ffcc3aacee2244e064e09c27418017e414) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Reviewed-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard (cherry picked from commit 4afa71ef6e5bf1db126c80e6d987f588d0b5a086) Signed-off-by: Antonin Godard Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman

dev-manual/bmaptool.rst: correct command for bmaptool-native

2024-12-26T14:01:37+00:00

Using only "bitbake bmaptool-native", running "oe-run-native bmaptool-native bmaptool ..." fails as follows: Error: Have you run 'bitbake bmaptool-native -caddto_recipe_sysroot'? Running the "bitbake bmaptool-native -caddto_recipe_sysroot" target is actually sufficient.

dev-manual: fix styling of references to bmaptool

2024-12-26T14:01:37+00:00

To follow the styling conventions when we are refering to the name of a tool instead of the command itself (documentation/standards.md). This also improves the HTML rendering of the bmaptools subsection.
