Description Darren Hart 2015-09-09 15:15:03 UTC 
With the 4.1 linux-yocto recipe, the kernel source and associated meta data are provided via separate repositories. The tooling supports this mode, the previous integrated source and meta, and the recipe-space meta data.

The documentation needs to be updated to describe the separate meta data repository in addition to the other two modes.

FWIW we did at least mention this in the migration guide, but of course we need to update all the other kernel-related documentation.

Doc update sent to ScottR

Hi, 

I took what Bruce gave me and updated the http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html#kernel-metadata-location section.  I don't know if it is totally accurate so I need a review here.  

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the doc review Bruce.  I am setting the doc flag to "done." I am not messing with the status of the bug since I am not the owner.
