Description Belen Barros Pena 2014-01-21 16:13:20 UTC

Bug 5691 adds descriptions for the most common BitBake tasks to documentation.conf. Those descriptions need to be displayed in Toaster as content of help bubbles inside tasks tables, which are:

* All tasks table
See http://www.yoctoproject.org/toaster/all-tasks.html

* Tasks table in the recipe details screen 
See http://www.yoctoproject.org/toaster/recipe-details-acl.html

In any of the above URLs, hover over the task name. You will see a question mark next to it: hovering over the question mark brings up a tooltip with the task description that should be provided by documentation.conf

Pushed the implementation to my branch ravi/bug-5748 

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=ravi/bug-5748&id=b3f42f6c46dfb078db98b14a31680a45015ff10f

The help is displayed for tasks that have an entry in the "variable" table with a matching task name and build id.

This patch works for me, in that when a task description is in the database, the hover and help description does appear, else not.

My problem appears to be with 5691, which I have updated. Even with the updated "documentation.conf", I only find only around 7 task descriptions appear in the database.
