Richard made a concerted effort to enable Dash usage in Poky and the sanity
check to detect it is no longer present. We should update the documentation to
reflect this development.
Specifically the section in the quickstart:
"If your distribution is Ubuntu, you need to be running the bash shell. You can
be sure you are running this shell by entering the following command and
selecting "No" at the prompt:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
"
Is no longer required.
I have removed it.

libxml-parser-perl pkg
A missing dependency surfaced during a build by community member Marc
Ferland on a Ubuntu system. The "shared-mime-info" package would not
build. Fix was to add the "libxml-parser-perl" package. So I added this
package as a requirement for the Ubuntu systems.

I added three new glossary entries for how the build process
figures out the image size. Entries are for IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE,
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR, and IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE.
I still need to create a usage section for this topic.
Likely this will be in the development manual in a new chapter
I am thinking about.

requirements
I created a new section in the "Technical Details" chapter of
the YP Reference Manual to deal with licensing. I migrated the
existing section on tracking licenses from the "Extending YP"
chapter into this section. The new section now includes that info
as well as the new information here.

Richard reviewed the new sections and had a couple comments. There
was one technical error and he also wanted YP worked out when it was
being used in the context of the code that was doing the work here.
So I replaced with more generic terms or specifically called out
BitBake as the responsible software.

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.

Long-term strategy for the YP Reference Manual is that it contains
reference material and not "how-to-information". A step in this
direction is to isolate any discussions on components and other
areas of YP that need talked about. So to start with, I have created
a new chapter for now named "Technical Details" that so far has
a discussion of some components and shared state. This is a
step in the direction of making this manual a reference manual and
not a "how to" manual.
Changes included removing redundant material from the 'usingpoky.xml'
chapter and also adding the new chapter 'technical-details' into the
'poky-ref-manual.xml' file used for the make.

First draft of a re-write to the "Running a Build" section to try
and satisfy YOCTO #1500. I segmented the section into three areas
rather than a single area. This allowed me to create a sub-section
for the sstate stuff where it could be addressed on its own. I sent
the draft out to Richard and Mark H. and got feedback from RP that
is going to cause further changes. Thus, I am committing this partial
change.

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.

Robert was working through this BSP example in the development manual
and ran into some problems and some confusion in areas. This launched
a long "help-desk" session with Tom Zanussi. In addressing Robert's
issues, Tom decided to make a run through of the example as it was
written. For the most part the example was sound but needed some
technical tweaks as well as some expansion of the text to make things
clearer. Tom submitted the patch that addressed these concerns.
Scott Rifenbark reviewed the patch and further modified some of the
writing to make it consistent with the existing writing in the manual.
