From 429ce39f75c4fe7fb7095dd31d6afb5290685675 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 10:37:15 -0800 Subject: documentation: poky-ref-manual, dev-manual - deveshell handling Fixes [YOCTO #2909] Updated the "Using a Development Shell" in the dev-manual to note that the OE_TERMINAL variable is the thing that controls what terminal is spawned. Added a reference into the new variable description. In the poky-ref-manual, I created a new glossary description for the OE_TERMINAL variable.
