2017-10-06bitbake-user-manual: add more gitsm fetcher limitationsMikko Ylinen
The submodule sources fetched by the gitsm fetcher are not automatically tracked by the licensing and archiver infrastructures. Add these limitations to the existing 'warnings' sections for gitsm. [YOCTO #11594] Signed-off-by: Mikko Ylinen <mikko.ylinen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-04-05fetch/local: Drop FILESDIRRichard Purdie
This has long since been deprecated and is no longer used anywhere, FILESPATH is the commonly used varaible which offers much more flexibility. Remove the FILESDIR code and references from bitbake. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-03-01bitbake-user-manual: Added "path_spec" parameter to SVN FetcherScott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #10405] The section on the SVN Fetcher was missing information on the "path_spec" option. I added this option and also updated the examples at the bottom of the section to include that parameter. Also, made the other two examples consistent. I also removed the "date" parameter. Also, updated the "protocol" parameter as well as the "modify" parameter. For "modify" I removed the reference to "rsh". I applied a small wording change to the "protocol" parameter. Finally, I added a new "ssh" parameter. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com>
2016-11-30bitbake: remove True option to getVar callsJoshua Lock
getVar() now defaults to expanding by default, thus remove the True option from getVar() calls with a regex search and replace. Search made with the following regex: getVar ?\(( ?[^,()]*), True\) Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock <joshua.g.lock@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2016-07-21bitbake-user-manual: Addeds support for the Perforce FetcherAndrew Bradford
Added a new Perforce Fetcher section in the same spirit as the existing sections for other supported fetchers. Changes included the new section, removal of the bulleted item that mentioned this fetcher as an "additional" fetcher, and the creation of a new variable in the glossary named P4DIR.

2015-08-01bitbake-user-manual-fetching.xml: note about URLs with semi-colonsJuro Bystricky
Some URLs contain semi-colons. Unfortunatelly, bitbake uses semi-colons in SRC_URI as delimiters for various parameters. It may still be possible to use such URLs, providing the user replaces semi-colons ';' with '&' characters. For example: http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;a=snapshot;h=a5dd47 and http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git&a=snapshot&h=a5dd47 should be equivalent, as W3C recommends treating ';' in queries identically to '&'.

2015-06-19bitbake: Add explict getVar param for (non) expansionRichard Purdie
Rather than just use d.getVar(X), use the more explict d.getVar(X, False) since at some point in the future, having the default of expansion would be nice. This is the first step towards that. This patch was mostly made using the command: sed -e 's:\(getVar([^,()]*\)\s*):\1, False):g' -i `grep -ril getVar *` Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2015-04-17bitbake-user-manual: Cleaned up parallelism note and formatted user inputScott Rifenbark
I updated the note in the second chapter that discusses the role for BB_NUMBER_THREADS. The updates make it a bit clearer. Also scrubbed the manual for instances of user-supplied values to check how they are being formatted. I fixed the formatting to use the <replaceable></replaceable> tags so they are in italics.

2014-04-11doc: Rename user-manual -> bitbake-user-manualRichard Purdie
This manual gets combined with other manuals and in that context, it helps a lot if its seen as the Bitbake User Manual. Renames are a pain but this is worthwhile so that other docs can correctly be combined with this one. This also clarifies things like google search results which is helpful.
