From 741dddf11ae899eec6ed710daf005551f304563b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2017 08:25:59 -0700 Subject: dev-manual, ref-manual: Reorganized Bugzilla information Fixes [YOCTO #11630] Reorganized the way the information about entering bugs using Bugzilla is arranged in the documentation set. The dev-manual now has a section that is purely procedural and steps the user through the process of logging a new bug in the Bugzilla system. The ref-manual has a conceptual section that introduces the YP implementation of Bugzilla by simply telling the user what it is and what what its purpose is.
