[yocto] Results of latest documentation audit, May 2011

[Scott Garman]

Hello,

As a data point for where we stand in ensuring our packages are 
producing documentation, I have some scripts which build all recipes 
(using the output of bitbake -s, not world), and then check that a -doc 
package is generated which is populated with files.

A summary of the results using yesterday's master are as follows:

591 recipes in total
308 recipes are building documentation
283 recipes are not building documentation

31 recipes did not build (and are counted as not building documentation 
above).

The lists of recipes are attached to this email. We'd like to improve 
the percentage of recipes that produce documentation (separated into 
-doc packages, of course) for our next major release in October.

Our userspace recipe maintainers should look into setting aside some 
time to know which of their recipes are in the "not building 
documentation" list and work to improve them. A lot of this is likely to 
be low-hanging fruit.

Thanks,

Scott
