Subject: more observations on kernel dev manual
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2015 05:52:11 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1502250517500.32394@localhost> (raw)


  been a while since i went through this manual so some probably
simple observations -- based on in-progress manual. if scott rifenbark
wants to process any of this, he has my blessing.

  section 2.2.2: i'm assuming that list of SRC_URIs should actually
read?

   ... first-change...
   ... second-change ...
   ... third-change ...

  section 2.2.3: should that note not refer to the "defconfig" file
and not the ".config" file? as in, the defconfig file is used as the
*basis* for the eventual .config file, no? so the note should be
discussing applying the changes from the "defconfig" file, should it
not?

  section 2.3.2: hang on ...

   "Complete a build at least through the kernel configuration task as follows:

     $ bitbake linux-yocto -c kernel_configme -f"

but i thought that "-c <command>" would run *only* that bitbake task
... the wording suggests that that command will run everything *up to*
that task.

  also in that section, "are not't" should just say "aren't" in sample
warning output.

  section 2.3.3: again, first para suggests that that command should
process the kernel all the way "through" the kernel configuration.

  that's it for chapter 2 ... more later.
