Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] ref-manual/terms.rst: update Poky description
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 2025 17:33:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103-bitbake-setup-v2-6-89fbb14cfbbd@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251103-bitbake-setup-v2-0-89fbb14cfbbd@bootlin.com>

Poky as in the repository will no longer be updated. Update the
description of Poky to remove the last bullet point, and add a note to
say that Poky was used before.
