2012-03-23documentation/poky-ref-manual: Converted to use poky.ent variables.Scott Rifenbark
Fixed all the hard links to use appropriate variables from the file poky.ent. (From yocto-docs rev: 9a6267d0d843dc47c1171eba6200387901b77df4) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-03-08documentation: Section change and cross-reference fixesScott Rifenbark
I renamed the "BitBake Layers" section in the YP Development Manual to "Understanding and Creating Layers." Renaming the section broke three cross-references in the YP documentation manual set. I applied fixes to the references.

2012-03-08documentation/poky-ref-manual: Link updatesScott Rifenbark
Pulling the "Common Tasks" chapter fromt YP Reference Manual broke many links. Each of these links had to be repaired so that the link is to the YP Develepment Manual now, where the chapter was moved to.

2011-12-16documentation/poky-ref-manual/ref-bitbake.xml: Updated BitBake Running a TaskScott Rifenbark
I added more information about how BitBake actually runs a task. The information has to do with how tightly BB controls the execution environment of the build tasks to prevent contamination from the build machine from leaking into the task execution environment. This tight control actually causes some unexpected behavior during builds. For example, when a user exports and BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE an environment item such as CCACHE_DIR, the effects of the environment item never make it to the BB task execution environment. They only make it to the data store. The user actually has to take some extra steps to export that environment item into the task execution environment. The added information I put into the "Running a Task" section describes these extra steps.

2011-11-25documentation: Changed all manual links to point to "latest"Scott Rifenbark
There are many references to YP documentation throughout the YP manual set. They used to have hard-coded links to the current release (e.g. yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1 for Edison). This created a situation where if you went to a document on the website and clicked on a external reference to another manual, you would redirect to the current manual on the website. Really, you would want to go to the latest manual, which is one that is under development. Changing the links to "yoctoproject.org/docs/latest" makes the tip of master, which is used for devloping the next release, always have references to the manuals being developed and not back to the stable released set of manuals. This "latest" and "current" scheme for the links is not perfect. What has to happen when the latest set of the manuals freezes and becomes the next stable release, all the links in the docs will need to be changed from "latest" in the URL to the new release number. So for example, all the "latest" occurences would need to be changed to "1.2". Then for the next cycle as development begins again, the links need to be infused with "latest" again.

2011-10-04documentation: scrubbed out 'glibc' and replaced with 'eglibc'Scott Rifenbark
Several manuals and areas were still referring to 'glibc' as the GNU version of the Unix statndrd C library. We do not support this any longer and now use 'eglibc' to build with. Notable changes were in the required packages area of the QS manual. I also added a bit in the reference guide saying how this release does not use 'glibc' to build with but rather 'eglibc'.
