Yep - needs work.  I am putting this to NEEDINFO and going to look for some explanation on the process.  The placeholder of variables all exist in the BB manual glossary.  So they are there at least.  I need to try to find information to put them into context.

This is a normal work task, moving out of NEEDINFO.

Assigning to Kristi.  Kristi needs to dig this information up.

I have removed the paragraph that indicates this section is a placeholder (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#task-checksums-and-setscene) 

Even though I've taken that para out, as it stands this list of variables might be incomplete - can someone take a look and let me know what needs to be changed. 

Moving to NEEDS INFO. 

Thanks!
Kristi

Added the STAMPS_DIR variable to the BB manual glossary.  Also, updated the section on checksums with suggested text from Stephano.

Here are the links:

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#task-checksums-and-setscene

You will also notice cross-reference hyper-linking added to this list of variables.  

Let me know of any problems.

Scott

These changes look great. Thanks!

Thanks, 

I set the doc flag to "done".
