Description Phlip Balister 2013-03-06 14:23:34 UTC
Phrases such as:

 * built by the OpenEmbedded build system Poky and 
 * built by the OpenEmbedded build system, which uses Poky. 

are confusing.

OpenEmbedded is the build system, Poky is the Yocto Project reference distribution.

These are the first two I came across.

Also, it should be clear that ADT should be distribution neutral and not require Poky.

I have searched through the manual for the term Poky and cleared up the confusing usage.  This was old verbiage that slipped by.  I have also placed note at the beginning of the manual to state that Poky is the reference distribution and that ADT is in fact distribution neutral and does not require Poky.  However, I do note that the manual uses examples that assume the Poky distribution.  

You can see the changes at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.4/adt-manual/adt-manual.html.

If the changes are good then we can mark it as resolved/fixed.
