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.
