Nicolas Dechesne 2df3190f13 bitbake: sphinx: fixup for links
Since we converted the list of variables into a Sphinx glossary, the
automatic conversion from Pandoc does not produce proper links. We fix
them up using a Python regexp.

Similarly some http links were not converted correctly, and can also
be fixed up with a regexp.

This patch was generated by running the following regexp:

     line = re.sub("` <(https?://.*)>`__",
                   "\\1",
                   line)

     line = re.sub("`+(\w+)`* <#var-bb-\\1>`__",
                   ":term:`\\1`",
                   line)

Documentation

This is the directory that contains the BitBake documentation.

Manual Organization

Folders exist for individual manuals as follows:

  • bitbake-user-manual - The BitBake User Manual

Each folder is self-contained regarding content and figures.

If you want to find HTML versions of the BitBake manuals on the web, go to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Documentation.

Makefile

The Makefile processes manual directories to create HTML, PDF, tarballs, etc. Details on how the Makefile work are documented inside the Makefile. See that file for more information.

To build a manual, you run the make command and pass it the name of the folder containing the manual's contents. For example, the following command run from the documentation directory creates an HTML and a PDF version of the BitBake User Manual. The DOC variable specifies the manual you are making:

 $ make DOC=bitbake-user-manual

template

Contains various templates, fonts, and some old PNG files.

tools

Contains a tool to convert the DocBook files to PDF format.
