2015-02-03docs/manual: add FAQ entry about speeding up the build processThomas Petazzoni
This is a very frequently asked question, so let's add a FAQ entry about it, that we can progressively extend with more advices for our users.

2014-08-17manual: high-level restructuringThomas De Schampheleire
The structure of the buildroot manual is not always clear. There is a large number of chapters, and some chapters seem to overlap. The distinction between general usage and developer information is not always clear. This patch restructures the manual into four large parts: - getting started - user guide - developer guide - appendix Except for the names of these parts, the section names are not yet changed. Content-wise there are no changes yet either. This will be handled in subsequent patches. In order to achieve the introduction of a new level 'parts' above 'chapters', the section indicators (=, ==, ===, ...) of several sections have to be moved one level down. Additionally, the leveloffset indication to asciidoc has to be removed. Finally, to maintain more or less the same level of detail in the table of contents, the toc.section.depth attribute is reduced as well. Note that for some sections, less detail is visible now.

2014-05-02manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial)Thomas De Schampheleire
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>

2014-02-20manual/faq: add section about why no binary packagesYann E. MORIN
It comes up every now and then on the list, so better be prepared to point at the manual, rather than rehash the same every time. Most of the chapter is a copy-paste of the report from the Buildroot Developpers Day in Pragues, 2011-10-28: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-November/047229.html We consider the opinions expressed in that report to be still valid now, two years later.

2012-12-29docs/manual: remove FAQ entry about 'depends on' vs. 'select'Thomas Petazzoni
The FAQ is before the section on package development, and only covers user issues, not developer issues, so the FAQ entry about 'depends on' vs. 'select' really doesn't have its place here. And the 'depends on' vs. 'select' issue is already covered in a later section, see http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#depends-on-vs-select.
