Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be "ref-manual". This will help with confustion over the manual's intended purpose.

<p>
|
||
The <code class="filename">.bb</code> files are usually referred to as "recipes."
|
||
In general, a recipe contains information about a single piece of software.
|
||
The information includes the location from which to download the source patches
|
||
(if any are needed), which special configuration options to apply,
|
||
how to compile the source files, and how to package the compiled output.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The term "package" can also be used to describe recipes.
|
||
However, since the same word is used for the packaged output from the OpenEmbedded
|
||
build system (i.e. <code class="filename">.ipk</code> or <code class="filename">.deb</code> files),
|
||
this document avoids using the term "package" when referring to recipes.
