2014-05-13dev-manual: Added "Properly Versioning Pre-Release Recipes" section.Scott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #6243] This section addresses situations when working with recipe file names of recipes that have not been released (e.g. recipe-name_1.0.3.rc1). When the recipe is released the system has difficulty recognizing the new recipe name as a later version. So the work-around is to use PV to set the recipe version in the recipe. The section describes this.
