  perusing sphinx content for ref-manual/classes.rst, and noticed the
following (line 2383):



``staging.bbclass``
===================

The ``staging`` class installs files into individual recipe work
directories for sysroots. The class contains the following key tasks:

-  The :ref:`ref-tasks-populate_sysroot` task,
   which is responsible for handing the files that end up in the recipe
   sysroots.

-  The
   :ref:`ref-tasks-prepare_recipe_sysroot`
   task (a "partner" task to the ``populate_sysroot`` task), which    <====
   installs the files into the individual recipe work directories (i.e.
   :term:`WORKDIR`).

The code in the ``staging`` class is complex and basically works in two
stages:

-  *Stage One:* The first stage addresses recipes that have files they
   want to share with other recipes that have dependencies on the
   originating recipe. Normally these dependencies are installed through
   the :ref:`ref-tasks-install` task into
   ``${``\ :term:`D`\ ``}``. The ``do_populate_sysroot`` task   <====
   copies a subset of these files into ``${SYSROOT_DESTDIR}``. This
   ... snip ...



  note the two slightly different references to the same task:

  - ``populate_sysroot``
  - ``do_populate_sysroot``

is there a consensus as to whether task names should be given with the
leading "do_" when referenced in documentation?
