Scott Rifenbark caf6532b51 documentation: release-specific figure needed for denzil in dev-manual
dev-manual/dev-manual-model.xml:  The Bare Clone and Copy of the Bare
Clone figures are out of date for denzil.  These needed to be
re-done so they use "linux-yocto-3.2.git" and "my-linux-yocto-3.0-work"
as the root names.  This presents a Makefile issue when making the
denzil and pre-denzil versions of the manuals.  Whenever you use a
different figure for a different release, you need to involve the
BRANCH variable in the Makefile.  This is necessary because you are
using different figures in the generated tarballs.  The set of figures
could be unique to the release.  The outdated figure is
"kernel-overview-3.png" and will eventually be removed (later commit).
I created a new figure named "kernel-overview-3-denzil.png" and used
that in the dev-manual-model.xml file.

documentation/Makefile:  I updated the Makefile to test for a
"denzil" release build and if so include the new file in the
generated tarball.  This commit adds the new .PNG file as well.
Fixed the Makefile so that if you don't supply a BRANCH value, it
uses the latest figures (denzil).

documentation

This is the directory that contains the Yocto Project documentation. The Yocto Project source repositories at http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi have two instances of the "documentation" directory. You should understand each of these instances.

poky/documentation - The directory within the poky Git repository containing the set of Yocto Project manuals. When you clone the poky Git repository, the documentation directory contains the manuals. The state of the manuals in this directory is guaranteed to reflect the latest Yocto Project release. The manuals at the tip of this directory will also likely contain most manual development changes.

yocto-docs/documentation - The Git repository for the Yocto Project manuals.
This repository is where manual development occurs. If you plan on contributing back to the Yocto Project documentation, you should set up a local Git repository based on this upstream repository as follows:

                           git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-docs

                         Changes and patches are first pushed to the 
                         yocto-docs Git repository.  Later, they make it 
                         into the poky Git repository found at 
                         git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.  

Manual Organization

Folders exist for individual manuals as follows:

  • adt-manual - The Yocto Project Application Development Toolkit (ADT) User's Guide.
  • bsp-guide - The Yocto Project Board Support (BSP) Developer's Guide
  • dev-manual - The Yocto Project Development Manual
  • kernel-manual - The Yocto Project Kernel Architecture and Use Manual
  • poky-ref-manual - The Yocto Project Reference Manual
  • yocto-project-qs - The Yocto Project Quick Start

Each folder is self-contained regarding content and figures.

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 ADT manual. The DOC variable specifies the manual you are making:

 $ make DOC=adt-manual

poky.ent

This file defines variables used for documentation production. The variables are used to define release pathnames, URLs for the published manuals, etc.

template

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

tools

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