other manual.

ddc6ef5273 kernel-dev: Minor fixes.
1. Fixed the name of the "do_compile" task so that it was not
   referenced as "do_compile()".

2. Fixed a link to the Source Repositories so that the link
   used the ENTITY for the YP Git area and not a full-blown
   hard-coded path.

1b877bc9dd documentation: Updated everything for new overview-manual
This involved changing the root manual folder from
"getting-started" to "overview-manual".

Also, every link using the ENTITY "YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" was
changed to "YOCTO_DOCS_OM_URL".  Most manuals had several
occurrences of these links.

The makefile needed updating to process the new manual
and not process the old "getting-started" manual.

f2242e613c documentation: Purged the YP Quick Start references from YP set
The original Yocto Project Quick Start is being retired for the
YP 2.5 release (sumo).  I have purged all the various references
from the YP manual set and replaced them with references to the
appropriate doc.  The references were mainly into the YP
dev-manual for setting up the host or for building an image.
There were a few references into the new "Yocto Project Quick
Build" document for overviewing manual-type references.

I did some re-wording to account for when the user does a web

of the manual.  Many times the user is oblivious of this fact
and is trying to use a version of the docs that don't come close
to matching the version of the YP.

It was being presented in the manual set as "meta-bsp_name",

I took out the sections at the end of the manual that talked
about the yocto-kernel tool.  This tool is no longer maintained

tool to be the bitbake-layers tool.  This involved some
consolidation of sections.

I fixed some links in the kernel-dev and toaster-manual.

4d623003f3 documentation: Purged overview manual references
When I converted the Yocto Project Overview Manual to the Getting
Started With Yocto Project Manual, I updated the strings for
references from "&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" TO
"&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL".  Unfortunately, I did it with a global command
that did not take into account the text the might follow the link
by saying "see such-and-such section in the Yocto Project Overview
Manual."  So, I had to hand fix these.

Additionally, since I have moved a deeper concepts chapter that
was in the getting-started manual to a new Yocto Project Concepts
chapter, many of those links changed had to really go to the new
manual instead.  Those were fixed.

ae06e04cd2 documentation: Created new "Getting Started" manual.
Creation involved removing the overview-manual and replacing it
with the getting-started manual.  All links to the string
"&YOCTO_DOCS_OVERVIEW_URL" had to be replaced with
"&YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" across the entire YP manual set.  I renamed
files used to create the manual with prefixes suited for the
new manual name, which is "Getting Started With Yocto Project".

The style sheet for the new manual needed updating to display the
new .PNG image for the title page.  The mega-manual file had to
be updated to include the files.  The mega-manual.sed file had
to be updated to include the new manual and not use the overview
manual.

b797db0db4 documentation: Created new YP Overview Manual
Fixes [YOCTO #12370]

Added a new chapter to the newly created Yocto Project Overview
Manual.  This chapter originated from the YP Reference Manual and
was the old chapter 3, which talked a lot about various concepts.
This information is better suited for the new overview manual.

The change involved moving the entire chapter and renaming it.
This move of the content affected many, many external references
and links into the old area.  Consequently, I had to recast all
these links from the different manual.

Changes also included fixing the mega-manual.xml file so that it
would include the new overview manual as part of it.

Many figures had to be relocated as part of the move as well.  This
meant deleting them from the ref-manual/figures folder and putting
them into the overview-manual/figures folder.

f29cdba71a dev-manual, kernel-dev: Replaced yocto-layers with bitbake-layers command
The yocto-layers script is being deprecated in the 2.4 YP release
and the preferred script is now bitbake-layers.  In particular, the
section that talks about creating a general layer was using
yocto-layers create.  I have replaced it with bitbake-layers
create-layer command.

The bsp-guide and kernel-dev manual had links that used (in the
case of kernel-dev) and referenced yocto-layers.  I had to change
these to reflect using bitbake-layers create-layers.

99151aef77 kernel-dev: Updates to "Using Kernel Metadata in a Recipe"
This section had some old emenlo examples and was a little
confusing.  I removed the old examples and inserted some new
wordings to help smooth it out.

8dc04d54e0 kernel-dev: Updates to where kernel metadata is found
"cfg" and "features" used to reside in the linux-yocto-x.x repo
under meta.  They are now in a separate repo named
yocto-kernel-cache.  I rewrote a couple spots that incorrectly
referenced the old location.

This section has merged into a single topic now.  It still needs
work but it is gathered under one heading for now.

fae276ea09 kernel-dev: Eliminated "Generating Configuration Files" section.
This section was largely redundant now.  The small things that did
add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2.  One was a new
section on expanding variables using bitbake -e.  Another was a bit
about the defconfig file.  And a small procedure on how to create
config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained.

Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.
