types of scripts.

class became "undocumented."  The cross-references now point to

Scott Rifenbark ab23dd967e yocto-project-qs and others: Rewrite of the QS
This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt
to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better
with the examples.  In doing so, many manuals were affected due to
section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc.  Here
is a list of the changes by manual:

Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the
           yocto-project-qs.

           Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list.

           Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE
           list.

           Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list.

adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new
            'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS.

            Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and
            QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS.

dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how
            to configure the most efficent build.

            Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages'
            to 'The Build System Packages'.

            Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an
            Image' to 'Building Images'.

            Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual.

            Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website
            from the YP QS to the dev-manual.

            Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built
            Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and
            QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual.

ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
            Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'.

            Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the
            packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the
            ref-manual.

            Moved the introduction information regarding building an image
            along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on
            building images.

toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
                Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto
                Project'.

yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and
                  removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

Scott Rifenbark 540b8ef0f7 dev-manual: Added new section on "defconfig" files.
The "Configuring the Kernel" section did not address "defconfig"
files.  In my opinion, this is a hole in the docs for this section.
I added a new section titled "Creating a defconfig File" that is a
sub-section of the "Configuring the Kernel" section.

Additionally, I added a brief sentence in the introductory paragraph
to include the fact that this new information exists.

Finally, I included the bitbake command that ensures that the
proper configuration steps are minimally run before a user attempts
to use bitbake to get into menuconfig.

Scott Rifenbark e05c636bc8 ref-manual, dev-manual: Added info about make race work-around
I updated both the PARALLEL_MAKE and PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables
by expanding the note to indicate how to prohibit parallel make
threads.  Also, added a cross-referencing link to the
"Debugging Parallel Make Races" section.

I added a short note to the start of the "Debugging Parallel Make
Races" section noting that if they can't properly fix the condition,
they can always do a work-around to set the PARALLEL_MAKE or
PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables to null.

Scott Rifenbark 95108a1c34 dev-manual: Updated requirements for writing a new test.
Fixes [YOCTO #7524]

The "Writing New Tests" section needed more clarification in the first
paragraph.  One requirement is that minimally, an empty __iniit_.py
file must exist in the runtime directory.

Scott Rifenbark 6e4a1a0936 dev-manual; ref-manual: Fixed &dash; issue
Fixes [YOCTO #7386]

Apparently the "&dash;" ENTITY used throughout the YP manual set to
get literal "-" characters in example commands renders into a unicode
that is not a dash.  This results in users getting errors if they
attempt to cut-and-paste a sample command that uses a "-" character
from the manual into a shell.  I have universally replaced all the
"&dash;" strings in the YP manual set to "-" strings.
