Writing down where you think there are issues would be a help so that
we can see if there is some way we can improve that.

 

Yes - please indicate any areas in the documentation you believe need updated, changed, or added.  I have been trying to bring things up-to-date in several manuals during the 2.5 process.  So, identifying areas in the 2.5 manual set would be very helpful.  To be sure you are viewing 2.5 manuals use the following form for the URL:

      yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/<manual_folder>/<manual_folder>.html

      where <manual_folder> is

           brief-yoctoprojectqs

           bsp-guide

           overview-manual

           dev-manual

           sdk-manual

           profile-manual

           kernel-dev

           ref-manual

           toaster-manual

           bitbake-user-guide

Thanks

Is there any special process to get manual updates accepted? I am asking because I sent an update for the BUILDHISTORY_FEATURES variable to the Yocto mailing list (https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2018-January/039787.html) at the end of January (last pinged a month ago) and it still has not made it into the manual AFAICT and it has not received any feedback.
