2015-02-17ref-manual: Added "leakage" FAQ entry.Scott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #6852] I added a new FAQ entry to address situations where during a native build, the build fails due to previously installed stuff on the system from /usr/local/include and /opt. The entry tries to cover "leakage" issues in general but calls out the specific case involving libiconv and iconv.h.

2014-10-18ref-manual: Scrubbed for variable (user) input.Scott Rifenbark
Throughout the manual I had been using angled bracket sets to denote user-supplied input. This is confusing and better shown by using the <replaceable></replaceable> tags. I scrubbed all the chapters and replaced as needed. Some other minor formatting changes were caught and fixed during the scrub as well.

Fixes [YOCTO #4866] Updated the main area where it talks about needing the right versions of Git, tar, and Python. You can get this set up using a couple methods. I documented both. The changes in the FAQ and in the QS are basically notes that point to that section for more information.

2013-09-12documentation: Added the memory-resident BitBake featureScott Rifenbark
The main changes are captured in a new section devoted to the oe-init-build-env-memres script within the ref-structure.xml file and in the variables.xml file in a BBSERVER variable entry in the glossary. All other changes were necessary to integrate the new functionality into areas where running the setup script are discussed. Before this feature, there was a single setup script (oe-init-build-env). Consequently, wordings and such were designed exclusively for this single method. With the introduction of a second possible method to initialize the build environment, tweaks to many sections were needed. Beside the wording tweaks, appropriate cross-referencing was also needed. All these changes cover the integration of the new feature.
