2013-05-31dev-manual, ref-manual, poky.ent: Fixed broken Release Note schemeScott Rifenbark
The URL naming convention for the YP Release Notes has changed. It now takes the following form: http://www.yoctoproject.org/download/yoctoproject-15-poky-1000 The above is an example for YP Release 1.5 and poky release 10.0.0. I have set up three new variables in the poky.ent file to somewhat automate the links in the docs to point to the location of a given set of release notes: 1. DISTRO_COMPRESSED - set to the DISTRO string with no period (e.g 15 for 1.5). 2. POKYVERSION_COMPRESSED - set to the poky version with no periods (e.g. 1000 for 10.0.0). 3. YOCTO_RELEASE_NOTES - set to the full-blown release note URL. I made two changes to existing links for the Release Notes. One was in the dev-manual and one was in the ref-manual.

2013-05-31dev-manual: Updated wording about GitScott Rifenbark
I removed the statement saying that checking out a Git repository is a backup of the repo. Technically, that is not true. It would be more of a clone operation. The statement was superfluous anyway so I decided to remove it altogether.

2013-05-22kernel-dev: Updates to "Creating the Append File" section.Scott Rifenbark
Pointed out by Robert P. J. Day that I was using the wrong FILESEXTRAPATHS example for an append file. I failed to include the "_prepend" part of the variable. Also, the wording based on the example made some assumptions and was not entirely accurate. The changes I put in made the section very specific. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

2013-04-17ref-manual: Updates to the FILESPATH variable.Scott Rifenbark
Added some more clarity about how this variable works and the implications for using the default setting from the base.bbclass file. Namely, if you are going to have the build system look for files in your layer and your layer uses an append file, then you need to also use the FILESEXTRAPATHS variable to extend FILESPATHS.

2013-04-17ref-manual: Edits to clear up the SRC_URI variable description.Scott Rifenbark
I found it confusing due to not specifically accounting for .bb and .bbappend files. I added some wording to clearly specify use given the two types of "recipes". Specifically, if you are going to use a SRC_URI statment from an append file, the user really should be aware that they will need to extend the FILESPATH variable by also using FILESEXTRAPATHS from within that append file.
