[yocto] [OT?] some inconsistencies in listing required build software

2014-06-17 Thread Robert P. J. Day
not sure if this is the right list (oe/poky/yocto?), but since it involves yocto docs, i'll ask here. there seem to be some (admittedly minor) inconsistencies in both the docs and code for checking the sanity of a build environment (i'm basing this off the current yocto docs and the current p

These two glossaries are not replicates of each other by design. You might notice also that some definitions for the same variable differ as well. The intent is to have the variables in ref-manual be specific (if possible) for YP and the ones in bitbake-user-manual to be specific for that cont

Just add my few cents of using Yocto. Since yocto is tailored towards embedded system, normally it includes light weight (strip-down version/flavor) software and servers, such as sysklogd instead of syslogd and busybox cron instead of crond. Which is not a bad thing at all, as this make sure your
