This involved changing the root manual folder from "getting-started" to "overview-manual". Also, every link using the ENTITY "YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" was changed to "YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL". Most manuals had several occurrences of these links. The makefile needed updating to process the new manual and not process the old "getting-started" manual.

2018-05-24documentation: Fixed "Getting Started" manual linksScott Rifenbark
There was inconsistent use when referencing the getting-started manual. The manual's name does not include the word "Manual". So, I cleaned this up across the manual set and also in the mega-manual.sed file, which was incorrectly processing the links to that manual that do not target a specific section.

2018-05-24documentation: Purged the YP Quick Start references from YP setScott Rifenbark
The original Yocto Project Quick Start is being retired for the YP 2.5 release (sumo). I have purged all the various references from the YP manual set and replaced them with references to the appropriate doc. The references were mainly into the YP dev-manual for setting up the host or for building an image. There were a few references into the new "Yocto Project Quick Build" document for overviewing manual-type references.

2018-05-24Documentation: Updated Manual NotesScott Rifenbark
I did some re-wording to account for when the user does a web search for a manual and the search returns an ancient version of the manual. Many times the user is oblivious of this fact and is trying to use a version of the docs that don't come close to matching the version of the YP.

2018-03-25bsp-guide: Removed deprecated tool sectionsScott Rifenbark
I took out the sections at the end of the manual that talked about the yocto-kernel tool. This tool is no longer maintained and there is no equivalent tool. I also fixed the yocto-bsp tool to be the bitbake-layers tool. This involved some consolidation of sections. I fixed some links in the kernel-dev and toaster-manual.

2018-02-14documentation: Purged overview manual referencesScott Rifenbark
When I converted the Yocto Project Overview Manual to the Getting Started With Yocto Project Manual, I updated the strings for references from "&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" TO "&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL". Unfortunately, I did it with a global command that did not take into account the text the might follow the link by saying "see such-and-such section in the Yocto Project Overview Manual." So, I had to hand fix these. Additionally, since I have moved a deeper concepts chapter that was in the getting-started manual to a new Yocto Project Concepts chapter, many of those links changed had to really go to the new manual instead. Those were fixed.

2018-02-14documentation: Created new "Getting Started" manual.Scott Rifenbark
Creation involved removing the overview-manual and replacing it with the getting-started manual. All links to the string "&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" had to be replaced with "&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" across the entire YP manual set. I renamed files used to create the manual with prefixes suited for the new manual name, which is "Getting Started With Yocto Project". The style sheet for the new manual needed updating to display the new .PNG image for the title page. The mega-manual file had to be updated to include the files. The mega-manual.sed file had to be updated to include the new manual and not use the overview manual.

2018-02-14documentation: Created new YP Overview ManualScott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #12370] Added a new chapter to the newly created Yocto Project Overview Manual. This chapter originated from the YP Reference Manual and was the old chapter 3, which talked a lot about various concepts. This information is better suited for the new overview manual. The change involved moving the entire chapter and renaming it. This move of the content affected many, many external references and links into the old area. Consequently, I had to recast all these links from the different manual. Changes also included fixing the mega-manual.xml file so that it would include the new overview manual as part of it. Many figures had to be relocated as part of the move as well. This meant deleting them from the ref-manual/figures folder and putting them into the overview-manual/figures folder.

2017-10-30dev-manual, kernel-dev: Replaced yocto-layers with bitbake-layers commandScott Rifenbark
The yocto-layers script is being deprecated in the 2.4 YP release and the preferred script is now bitbake-layers. In particular, the section that talks about creating a general layer was using yocto-layers create. I have replaced it with bitbake-layers create-layer command. The bsp-guide and kernel-dev manual had links that used (in the case of kernel-dev) and referenced yocto-layers. I had to change these to reflect using bitbake-layers create-layers.
