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>

2014-08-01bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-intro.xml: Fixed linkScott Rifenbark
I inadvertantly used a &YOCTO_* variable in the book to get a link to the landing YP page. Of course this does not work. I replaced it with the actual URL.

output, which has been recently patched to fix the '-S SIGNATURE_HANDLER, --dump-signatures=SIGNATURE_HANDLER' option.

2014-07-21bitbake-user-manual-metadata.xml: KERNEL_FEATURES example updated.Scott Rifenbark
I added text to separate this example code from the general BitBake User Manual's spirit of standing alone and away from YP or OE stuff. Also, added another space to move the examples code so that 5 spaces are used for literal indentation. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>

2014-07-21bitbake-user-manual-metadata.xml: Added second conditional metadata example.Robert P. J. Day
I think having a couple real-life examples here would make a huge difference. Comment from Scott: I modified the example description to indicate that it is from an OpenEmbedded metadata-based recipe (i.e from YP). We have been trying very hard to keep the BitBake User Manual as separate as possible from the YP docs. Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com>
