Hi all, I've been thinking about the issue of documenting Poky's dependencies in the handbook. At the moment the handbook includes a list of required packages and then explicitly lists commands to install those packages on Ubuntu.
What I'd like to propose is that we list the required dependencies in the handbook and then link to a wiki page where we can list explicit instructions for various distributions. This allows us to document the process for as many distributions as possible without cluttering the handbook. An alternative would be to add this to an appendix but I quite like the idea of people being able to edit and add to this information without having to use git. To that end I've added a page to our public wiki showing the steps I had to take to run Poky on Fedora and CentOS machines: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Poky/GettingStarted/Dependencies Cheers, Joshua -- Joshua Lock Intel Open Source Technology Centre --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Corporation (UK) Limited Registered No. 1134945 (England) Registered Office: Pipers Way, Swindon SN3 1RJ VAT No: 860 2173 47 This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
