For example the variable BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS is documented differently in either.

Which manual/s was this in?

Hi, 

This is not a bug.  The mega-manual is a compilation of specific manuals.  Mega-manual is simply created by stringing the HTML files of various manuals together.  The mega-manual exists so that users have one manual they can easily search through. 

A couple releases ago, it was decided to include the BitBake manual in the Mega-manual.  The BitBake manual maintains its own glossary that is 80 percent identical to the glossary in the YP Reference Manual.  This is why two glossaries exist in the mega-manual.
