/etc/volatile.cache is a cached copy of a script (which is
generated by /etc/init.d/populate-volatile.sh) that generates
the volatile filesystem directories. Since volatile.cache is
a generated file, it is not necessarily changed if
populate-volatile.sh is updated. As a result, the stale script
can add/remove the wrong directories on the next system boot.
If initscripts is being upgraded, make sure volatile.cache gets
deleted.

Commit ea647cd9ee moved the locations
of /run and /var/lock to match the FHS 3 draft specifications.
However, the install doesn't remove the existing directories.
As a result, upgrading a system may result in /run as a softlink
to /var/run and /var/run as a softlink to /run, creating a circular
link.
During pre-install, check for the existence of the old softlinks and
remove them so the new directories can be installed.

In multilib and baremetal configurations, this variable can cause a variety of
problems due to the use of TCLIBC. At least allowing it to be overriden
is a start and allows various configurations to avoid the issue.

Rpm database in staging area is used only by createrepo.
createrepo fails with the error
"rpmdb: BDB0060 PANIC: fatal region error detected"
if rpm database is broken during previous run of createrepo.
Made createrepo to create rpm db in $WORKDIR/rpmdb/ from scratch
for every build and architecture. This should potentially fix the
failure as every run of createrepo will be using separate db.

--dbpath option can be used in cases where users don't want
createrepo to use system rpm db to avoid possible collisiouns
with other programs.
For bitbake builds it would be possible to specify different
databases even for every createrepo run. Considering that rootfs
builds can run multiple createrepo in parallel, it can help to avoid
race conditions caused by accessing or creating the same rpm database
by multiple createrepo instances at the same time.

I abbreviated the list of references in the end chapter by leaving
just the main URLs for bigger areas such as Intel, OE, etc. Then
I put in a link that goes back to the dev-manual list of other
informations as that is much more comprehensive.

Applied some suggestions from Paul Eggleton to downplay the role
of this variable. It is basically ignored now in all parts of the
manual set except for the descriptions of the variable itself
and the BBLAYERS variable. I added some text reinforcing the fact
that BBLAYERS_NON_REMOVABLE is ignored by the build system and only
matters if you are using Hob.

Added new package data, and cleaned up whitespace.
I've also corrected some packaged data (replacement-tar from
my reading of the recipe is the tar normally found in distros).
One issue this patch exposed st I haven't had a chance to track
down is that when you attempt to get distrodata from
gcc-crosssdk-initial-x86_64. The produced .csv in tmp/log
is missing the Distro information. bitbake -e
shows that DISTRO_PN_ALIAS isn't even getting set in this case.
My guess here is that something is happening with the "_"
along the way, I've just not found it yet.

self.appendlist is a dict and as such unordered. This can lead to cases
where appends with different names (e.g. x_%.bbappend vs. x_123.bbappend)
can be reordered in application which in turn reorders the variables
that those bbappend files might touch. Reorderd variables changes the sstate
cache signatures causing real world issues.
To avoid this, use a list for the append files instead.
This patch is conservative and just adds a new data structure alongside
the existing one and uses it to resolve the core issue. Later patches
(post release) can handle some of the wider but less problematic ones
(e.g. issues in bitbake-layers flatten).
