[yocto] [yocto-docs][PATCH] runtime package management: use oe-core features

2013-11-02 Thread Trevor Woerner
[YOCTO #5408] The reference manual should only refer to functionality which is available in oe-core. Currently, this passage requires the user to add a package from, and use facilities of, meta-oe. This fix describes how to use facilities in oe-core to the same end. Signed-off-by: Trevor Woerner

[yocto] BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY = "1" or "true"?

2013-11-02 Thread Robert P. J. Day
(i can see it's going to be that kind of weekend.) ref manual reads: BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY = "1" but some layers define: meta-linaro/meta-aarch64/conf/layer.conf:BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY = "true" meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/conf/layer.conf:BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY = "t
