Scott Rifenbark b4b3bf56f6 bitbake: user-manual: Added new chapter to cover BB execution.
This commit added need files, cleaned up bogus links, and
adjusted the build file, which is user-manual.xml.

The new chapter file is "user-manual-execution.xml". The file
has base text from the bitbake section from the "Closer Look"
chapter of the YP ref-manual.  This means that I had to initially
include some figures from that book for now.  I am not including
them as part of this commit though as they will likely get renamed.
I made sure that all links were removed that were specific to the
YP ref-manual.

Another change was in the user-manual.xml file to include
the new chapter as part of the build.

Another block of text for the new chapter was the "Running a Task"
section from the user-manual-metadata.xml file.  Consequently, that
section was deleted from the "Metafile" chapter.

Another block of text for the new chapter was the "Parsing
and Execution" section from the user-manual-metadata.xml file.
Consequently, that section was deleted from the "Metafile chapter.

Documentation

This is the directory that contains the BitBake documentation.

Manual Organization

Folders exist for individual manuals as follows:

  • 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=user-manual

template

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

tools

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