kind of a two-part nitpick but i was looking for where it was documented how to simply add an existing package to an existing image definition and that bit of info is frustratingly hard to find. i assumed that would be a blatantly obvious question for the ref manual FAQ but, no, actually, it isn't there. not really.
if you check the FAQ: file:///home/rpjday/yocto/yocto-docs/documentation/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#faq what you get is exactly what is described in the foreword for the subversion book: http://www.visualsvn.com/support/svnbook/foreword/ hoping no one takes it personally but the current yocto ref manual FAQ strikes me as *exactly* the kind of FAQ that was put together by people who knew the answers to particular questions, and simply defined those questions to be "frequently asked" because they knew their answers. if i'm a beginner, one of the first questions i'd ask is something like, "how can i bitbake a core-image-minimal, but tweak my local.conf to add in an extra package that's not part of that image definition?" and that's simply not there. if i follow the FAQ, i end up here: file:///home/rpjday/yocto/yocto-docs/documentation/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#idp1843008 then here: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-addpkg and if i keep reading, is this what i'm looking for? http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage-localconf how is it that a question that obvious is simply not part of the FAQ? i can think of numerous questions that *should* be in that FAQ and aren't. is anyone keeping track of what questions people are actually asking? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
