8dbf71b553 bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Updated "Task Checksums and Setscene" section
Fixes [#YOCTO 12030]

Updated the "Task Checksums and Setscene" section to provide a bit
of user information around the bitbake-dumpsigs use that lets a
user examine signatures and inputs that determine if a do_compile
task is indeed supposed to be run.

Added more explanation of how a user can examine signatures used
to determine if a do_compile task is indeed supposed to be run.

f16d8be9ab bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added google-repo fetcher and REPODIR var.
Added a new repo Fetcher section in the same spirit as the existing

removal of the bulleted item that mentioned this fetcher as an
"additional" fetcher, and the creation of a new variable in the glossary
named REPODIR.

Just discovered a minor issue in the bitbake manual - under the variable
glossary entry for BBLAYERS_FETCH_DIR we say there's a default value of
${COREBASE} but that's not actually true in bitbake itself - there's no
default in bitbake, that default is set in OE-Core. We can keep this in the YP
ref manual but in the bitbake manual that sentence should be removed.

the engineering team before checking to see if the manual
would make properly.  The next output for -D introduced an
error through the string "<task>".  The angled bracket
characters are illegal in docbook and must be replaced by
"&lt;" and "&gt;", respectively.  I made this fix.

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

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.

bcfb0da4fe bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Rewrite dependency dot file generation
The package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot files are inaccurate,
missing out key dependencies such those made via the [depends]
flags. As such they can be misleading to the user.

They mainly exist for historical reasons, coming from a time
before we had task based execution.

This commit removes the two dated file formats and replaces
them with a recipe-depends.dot which is a flattened version
of task-depends.dot.

The old format files are removed if present so that the user
can't get confused about why data might not match between files.

The code is also rewritten to use 'with f: f.write()' syntax as
is more commonly used now. Also update the docs to match the change.

The "addtask" documentation was rewritten to tighten up the
introductory section and to flesh out the actual examples.

510157e579 bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added new section on BB-style functions
Fixes [YOCTO #10364]

Added a new section titled "Bitbake-Style Python Functions
Versus Python Functions".  This section describes differences
for the user between the two types of functions.

Also, cleaned up a consistency problem with the terms
"BitBake style" and "BitBake-style".  I used the latter
throughout the manual.

7ab459d4b5 bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: Added examples for using overrides with functions.
Fixes [YOCTO #10296]

This adds some bits clarifying you can append and prepend to
functions.  Added a bit to the introduction paragraph of the
"Appending and Prepending (Override Style Syntax)" section to
note that you can do this.  Referenced some new examples.

In the "Shell Functions" section I added an example.  In the
"BitBake Style Python Functions" section I also added an example.

Fixes [YOCTO #10293]

In the section about setting variables, I added a paragraph that
explains the use of single quotes when setting a variable.  The
case covers when you must have the double quote charater as part
of your variable's value.

39828d3ccc bitbake: bitbake-user-manual: New section on functions you can call from Python
Fixes [YOCTO #10100]

I added a new parent directory named "Functions You Can Call From
Within Python".  This section contains a couple new sub-sections.
One is the existing "Functions for Accessing Datastore Variables".
The other is called "Other Functions", and it is used to point
or reference some commonly used functions that the user can call
from within Python.
