* manual/getting started: minor improvements to 'Using Buildroot' sectionThomas De Schampheleire2014-08-211-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames the section 'Using Buildroot' into 'Buildroot quick start' as real details about Buildroot usage will be in the User Guide rather than in 'Getting Started'. Additionally, add a cross-reference to the section about configuring Buildroot.

* replace references to Busybox with BusyBoxSimon Dawson2014-06-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The correct capitalised form appears to be "BusyBox" rather than "Busybox"; fix all references to the latter form. (Most such references occur in the manual and in commentary in package makefiles.) Signed-off-by: Simon Dawson <spdawson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>
* manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial)Thomas De Schampheleire2014-05-021-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Asciidoc supports two syntaxes for section titles: two-line titles (title plus underline consisting of a particular symbol), and one-line titles (title prefixed with a specific number of = signs). The two-line title underlines are: Level 0 (top level): ====================== Level 1: ---------------------- Level 2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 3: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Level 4 (bottom level): ++++++++++++++++++++++ and the one-line title prefixes: = Document Title (level 0) = == Section title (level 1) == === Section title (level 2) === ==== Section title (level 3) ==== ===== Section title (level 4) ===== The buildroot manual is currenly using the two-line titles, but this has multiple disadvantages: - asciidoc also uses some of the underline symbols for other purposes (like preformatted code, example blocks, ...), which makes it difficult to do mass replacements, such as a planned follow-up patch that needs to move all sections one level down. - it is difficult to remember which level a given underline symbol (=-~^+) corresponds to, while counting = signs is easy. This patch changes all two-level titles to one-level titles in the manual. The bulk of the change was done with the following Python script, except for the level 1 titles (-----) as these underlines are also used for literal code blocks. This patch only changes the titles, no other changes. In adding-packages-directory.txt, I did add missing newlines between some titles and their content. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import mmap import re for input in sys.argv[1:]: f = open(input, 'r+') f.flush() s = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0) # Level 0 (top level): ====================== = # Level 1: ---------------------- == # Level 2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ === # Level 3: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ==== # Level 4 (bottom level): ++++++++++++++++++++++ ===== def replace_title(s, symbol, replacement): pattern = re.compile(r'(.+\n)\%s{2,}\n' % symbol, re.MULTILINE) return pattern.sub(r'%s \1' % replacement, s) new = s new = replace_title(new, '=', '=') new = replace_title(new, '+', '=====') new = replace_title(new, '^', '====') new = replace_title(new, '~', '===') #new = replace_title(new, '-', '==') s.seek(0) s.write(new) s.resize(s.tell()) s.close() f.close() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de.schampheleire@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consider the second chapter: "starting-up", as a tutorial. Assuming that, using.txt only contains the very first commands used to get configure and build its very first target system. So, the following subsection from using.txt have been to common-usage.txt: - Offline builds - Building out-of-tree - Environment variables Signed-off-by: Samuel Martin <s.martin49@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
* manual: rework the whole documentation stubSamuel Martin2012-11-151-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought: 1. About Buildroot: Presentation of Buildroot 2. Starting up: Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot 3. Working with Buildroot Basics to make your work fitting your needs 4. Troubleshooting 5. Going further in Buildroot's innards Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc 6. Developer Guidelines 7. Getting involved 8. Contibuting to Buildroot 9. Legal notice 10. Appendix It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan: - Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot - Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy, few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section, and numerous others have been created.
