Added the bug but the summary would not take and I hit "enter" and the bug was created with out some detailed description. Right now we have a small example in the "Super User" section that shows an example way to fetch source but not start a build using 'bitbake -c fetchall'. We need to expand this into a real section in the dev-manual and then have the "super User" section reference into it. Right now this information is in the Quick Start in the "Super User" section:
-------------
Fetch all the necessary sources without starting the build:
$ bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal
This variation guarantees that you have all the sources for that BitBake target should you disconnect from the net and want to do the build later offline.
--------------------------
This information is presented as an alternate method of running BitBake. Do we really need a new section in the dev-manual that is dedicated to this? How much more is there to fetching the source but not starting the build?

Hi, Extract out existing mirror information from QS and make a new section in the dev-manual. Add reference links from QS and from the "Closer Look" section dedicated to mirrors back to the new section. Enlist Paul for further help. Changing owner to Paul for now. Scott Hi, I have created a new section called "Working with Source Files" in the dev-manual (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#working-with-source-files) that presents a couple topics around source files: 1) setting up mirrors and 2) pre-fetching source but not building the target. I have also updated the yocto-project-qs to reference this new section rather than repeat the same information. See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#configuring-the-local.conf-file and http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#building-the-image. The bug is now in IN PROGRESS REVIEW. Thanks, Scott Hi, Still need this section reviewed. Thanks, Scott No feedback on this in five weeks. I am marking it RESOLVED and setting the Doc flag to "Done."
