The section on how to contribute changes to the YP resides in this
development guide. I took additional information from the YP reference
manual and merged it into the section here.

The YP reference manual had an appendix that included reference or
resource information such as mailing lists, bugzilla link, and
IRC chat stuff. This type of information is best suited for the
introductory area of the development manual.

Paul sent me a bunch of minor edits and technical corrections
for the ADT, BSP, Development, and YP reference manual.
Most changes were taken as he submitted them. However, some
formatting conventions were not followed in the commits he made
to yocto-docs/paule/docs2. After merging them to my yocto-docs/master
branch I fixed some issues.

this example uses the CONFIG_SMP configuration. By default, this configuration is
disabled. The example shows how to use menuconfig and explains the .config file
role and how you can use it combined with menuconfig to manage multiple configuration
changes.
Thanks to Darren Hart for identifying this simple change to demonstrate how to
change the kernel configuration.

Bruce Ashfield suggested adding a note near the explanation of creating
a bare clone that suggests if the user already has a linux yocto kernel
Git repo handy they can reference that repo in the 'git clone --bare'
command rather than referencing the upstream source repository as
a way to speed up the process.

of the Yocto Project Development Manual.

After getting the example in kenerl example appendix working I discovered
much that was wrong in this overview. The overview attempts to generalize
all the situations for kernel modification. These include code changes,
configuration changes, and the addition of new recipes. It also includes
the situation where a developer wants to gather all the changes into a
separate layer for distribution and for when they want to push them up
the tree.

There are some issues with the fact that the build process parses
all kernel .bbappend files whether they are used or not during the
build process. I added an extra build configuration note regarding
editing the .bbappend file. I noted that you either have to edit
every .bbappend file and comment out the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE statement
or simply remove all the kernel recipe append files except the one
you are interested in.

kernel files and then how to create a clone of the bare clone.

This setup should do it for those that want to modify the kernel and
not have to download source files from the upstream everytime they
make a change.
