Bug 2636

Here is what is in the manual for the self-hosted image:

  "An image you can run using the Yocto Project Build Appliance. 
  The image is suitable to load and boot from either VMware 
  Player or VMWare Workstation. For more information on the 
  Build Appliance, see the Build Appliance page on the Yocto 
  Project website."

The manual uses a link for the Build Appliance page that resolves to http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/build-appliance.


Here is something for the qt4e-demo-image:  I don't list this image in the "Images" appendix of the 1.3 version of the YP Reference Manual.  Should I be?

  "An image that will launch into the demo application for the 
  embedded (not based on X11) version of Qt."

Valentin, can you take this bug since it is not very hard (to modify the image bb file is enough if I remember correctly)? Thanks.

OK Shane.

Scott: thanks for writing those descriptions. The Build Appliance one is a bit too long to fit in the space we have. Could we cut it to something like:

An image you can run using the Yocto Project Build Appliance. It boots from VMware Player or VMware Workstation. For more details, visit the Yocto Project Website.

'visit the Yocto Project Website' should be a link to http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/build-appliance

Let me know if that would be ok.

About the reference manual question, maybe Paul E. can answer it.

Cheers

Belen, 

You suggestion is great.  

Thanks, 
Scott

Hi Valentin,

So it looks like this is what needs to be done for this bug:

1. Change 'self-hosted-image' to 'build-appliance-image' in the Base Images drop down menu

2. Replace the self-hosted-image description with the following: 

"An image you can run using the Yocto Project Build Appliance. It boots from VMware Player or VMware Workstation. For more details, visit the Yocto Project Website."

'visit the Yocto Project Website' should be a link to http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/build-appliance

3. Replace the qt4e-demo-image description with the following:

"An image that will launch into the demo application for the embedded (not based on X11) version of Qt."

Let me know if you have any questions.

Here is an update regarding the description for "self-hosted-image".  For 1.3 I am pretty sure the name of the actual file will be "build-appliance-image."  And, the description would be better as follows:

   "An image you can boot and run using either the VMware Player or VMware 
    Workstation.  For more information, see the Build Appliance page."

With the link for "Build Appliance" as http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/build-appliance

Pretty much there. We have only have 2 tiny problems in the build-appliance-image description:

1. It looks like there is an extra space between 'Workstation.' and 'For'. 

2. In the 3rd line of the description, we are missing a space between 'the' and 'Build'

I've attached an image so you can see what I am talking about (build-appliance-description.png)

Thanks!

The screenshot is an old view of hob, so is this still an issue?

I'am afraid so. We seem to be missing the space between 'the' and 'Build'. In my my Fedora machine it also looks as if there is an extra space between the '.' and the 'For', but it could just be the Fedora default font. 

New screenshot attached from latest master (missing-space.png).

Part of HOB improvement sprint for 1.4

In development.

Checked the description text and the graphical rendering. Everything is OK. Tested on Ubuntu Linux 1204.

Cool: someone fixed this :)
