The exhaustive list of useful links and references to other

place for this type of reference information. I have moved that
list to the ref-manual where it should be. The dev-manual now

implementation of Bugzilla by simply telling the user what it is
and what what its purpose is.

Changes covered several areas. Version 2.3 of the YP now supports
recipe-specific sysroots and is not limited to machine-specific
as was prior releases. Manual changes were as follows:
dev-manual: "Sharing Files Between Recipes" - Wordings were changed
to support the new functionality.
ref-manual: do_prepare_recipe_sysroot task added to the list of
tasks described in "Configuration and Compilation".
ref-manual: Extensive re-write of the "staging.bbclass" section.
ref-manual: Added a section to the build structure for
build/tmp/work/tunearch/recipename/version/. This section breaks
down the recipe-specific subdirectories used to create (stage)
the sysroot.
ref-manual: New section (entry) for the do_prepare_recipe_sysroot
task in the task chapter.
ref-manual: Added a variable glossary description for the
SSTATE_SCAN_FILES variable.
In addition to these changes, I sprinkled in a liberal amount
of cross-referencing for the readers pleasure.

There is a weird and intermittant error that can occur on any given
distribution that has a 4.3+ Linux kernel and a version 228+ systemd.
The error happens during an initial build of an image and indicates
that resources are unavailable. Investigation determines that
resources are available. The combination of the kernel and the
systemd in a distro is causing issues when a distro is upgraded.
yocto-project-qs:
I added a note in the two areas where the user is stepped through
the bitbake process to build an image. The note mentions the
possibility of the error, the host configuration situation, and a
couple work-arounds, which are to reboot the machine or to set the
"DefaultTaskMax" systemd parameter to "infinity".
