There are many references to YP documentation throughout the YP manual set. They used to have hard-coded links to the current release (e.g. yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1 for Edison). This created a situation where if you went to a document on the website and clicked on a external reference to another manual, you would redirect to the current manual on the website. Really, you would want to go to the latest manual, which is one that is under development. Changing the links to "yoctoproject.org/docs/latest" makes the tip of master, which is used for devloping the next release, always have references to the manuals being developed and not back to the stable released set of manuals. This "latest" and "current" scheme for the links is not perfect. What has to happen when the latest set of the manuals freezes and becomes the next stable release, all the links in the docs will need to be changed from "latest" in the URL to the new release number. So for example, all the "latest" occurences would need to be changed to "1.2". Then for the next cycle as development begins again, the links need to be infused with "latest" again.

The Yocto Project presents the kernel as a fully patched, history-clean Git
|
|
repository.
|
|
The Git tree represents the selected features, board support,
|
|
and configurations extensively tested by Yocto Project.
|
|
The Yocto Project kernel allows the end user to leverage community
|
|
best practices to seamlessly manage the development, build and debug cycles.

This manual describes the Yocto Project kernel by providing information
|
|
on its history, organization, benefits, and use.
|
|
The manual consists of two sections:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Concepts:</emphasis> Describes concepts behind the kernel.
|
|
You will understand how the kernel is organized and why it is organized in
|
|
the way it is. You will understand the benefits of the kernel's organization
|
|
and the mechanisms used to work with the kernel and how to apply it in your
|
|
design process.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><emphasis>Using the Kernel:</emphasis> Describes best practices
|
|
and "how-to" information
|
|
that lets you put the kernel to practical use.
|
|
Some examples are "How to Build a
|
|
Project Specific Tree", "How to Examine Changes in a Branch", and "How to
|
|
Save Kernel Modifications."</para></listitem>
