[yocto] inconsistent pages out there for setting up your yocto dev host

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i've noticed there are various web pages purporting to explain how
to set up a proper OE/yocto development host, but they give what is
pretty clearly contradictory information.

  as one example, there's this page on getting started with OE:

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Getting_started

that claims to steal from a number of sources including the yocto QS
guide, but look at the packages one is instructed to install on that
page, particularly under fedora: python, perl, git, and so on.

  as i read it, the sanity.bbclass and ASSUME_PROVIDED will dictate
what needs to be there and what will be used if it's installed
natively, no?  it certainly seems that that wiki page is insructing
the developer to install a lot of software that OE will handle
automatically, no?
