From fded4fa2d2280c661f33d638d4fd7790d7b56168 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2016 10:02:38 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ref-manual: Updated configuration of auto.conf in closer look Fixes [YOCTO #8941] Confusing wording existed surrounding how the auto.conf file needs to be created. Early in the section indicates that you must hand create the file. Then later, it indicates to not hand-create it. In reality, this file is not auto-created by any script but is really usually created by an autobuilder. I updated the verbiage to better explain this.
