Subject: [PATCH 4/5] dev-manual/poky-manual-setup.rst: mention the Source Directory
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 17:24:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251224-terms-refresh-v1-4-691329fd038f@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251224-terms-refresh-v1-0-691329fd038f@bootlin.com>

After switching to the new definition of "Source Directory", i.e. the
base directory for your project (which used to be poky), mention it in
this document on manually setting up the layers for a project. As stated
in terms.rst, use "project" for the directory name.
