Justin Bronder acd77c3ac9 bitbake: fetch2/wget: add redirectauth parameter
Add a parameter that limits sending Basic authentication in the
Authorization header to only the first host and not any that we're
redirected to.  Ignoring potential security concerns, temporary AWS URLs
will reject any request that includes authentication details in both the
query parameters (from the redirect) and in the Authorization header.

Temporary AWS URLs are now being used for release assets from private
Github repositories.  According to the previous discussion linked below,
they're also in use by bitbucket.

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 https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Documentation.

Sphinx

The BitBake documentation was migrated from the original DocBook format to Sphinx based documentation for the Yocto Project 3.2 release.

Additional information related to the Sphinx migration, and guidelines for developers willing to contribute to the BitBake documentation can be found in the Yocto Project Documentation README file:

https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/tree/documentation/README

How to build the Yocto Project documentation

Sphinx is written in Python. While it might work with Python2, for obvious reasons, we will only support building the BitBake documentation with Python3.

Sphinx might be available in your Linux distro packages repositories, however it is not recommend using distro packages, as they might be old versions, especially if you are using an LTS version of your distro. The recommended method to install Sphinx and all required dependencies is to use the Python Package Index (pip).

To install all required packages run:

$ pip3 install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme pyyaml

To build the documentation locally, run:

$ cd documentation $ make -f Makefile.sphinx html

The resulting HTML index page will be _build/html/index.html, and you can browse your own copy of the locally generated documentation with your browser.
