[yocto] Yocto project quickstart information

[Barros Pena, Belen]

Hi there,

I was in the process of installing Yocto from the master branch in an Ubuntu 11.10 VM, and I used the Yocto Project Quick Start information (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html) to make sure I had all the required packages. However, I got a couple errors while trying to install those packages:

  *   The information lists git-core as one of the required packages, but I got an error saying the package could not be found. The package needed seems to be called git now.
  *   I got an error saying the package cvs could not be found. Paul Eggleton told me that package should no longer be necessary. He also observed desktop-file-utils and mercurial, both listed as required packages, should no longer be necessary either
  *   Finally, I forgot to install texinfo, and the error I got in the command line said that I was missing makeinfo (see screenshot attached). But when trying to install makeinfo I again got the "package could not be found" error. If the error had said I needed to install texinfo it would have made my life a bit easier.

Should we review the required packages details for the other distros to make sure they are up to date?

Cheers

Belen
