I could not replicate the failure here. I cloned the latest poky and then checked out a branch based on the 'yocto-1.6' tag. I was able to 'make DOC=mega-manual' and 'make DOC=dev-manual' with no issues. If you want, you can email me directly with more details of how it is failing on your end.

My only comment: make it easier to build the latest docs from git. I seem to always hit errors, and I've seen other posts about that, too. I just did a quick make DOC=mega-manual on Daisy, and it failed with: "tar: mega-manual.html: Cannot stat: No such file or directory" make DOC=dev-manual failed due to missing dependencies, and in the 30 seconds I spent while writing this e-mail, I couldn't figure out what to install on my U14.04 host to satisfy it. I don't have much use/fondness for html docs. Give me a searchable PDF any day. Another suggestion might be to include a setup script that makes sure the proper packages are installed. All in all, I give the docs a straight 'A' for being well written, informative, and nearly always relatively current, but then, I don't read the docs... ;) My $0.02 Let the comments fly ;) -Chris On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 1:43 PM, Jeff Osier-Mixon <je...@jefro.net<mailto:je...@jefro.net>> wrote: Hello - this is the first in a series of short surveys to find out how the Yocto Project core team can continue to deliver world-class tools, templates, and processes for creating embedded Linux operating systems.
