[yocto] Documenting YP Development Environment in more detail - user configuration

[Jerrod Peach]

Scott,

I think the general diagram looks pretty good, although I'd argue there's a
little too much detail in the file list being shown, or else some of this
new stuff is going to be useful in 1.5 when it's not doing anything in 1.4.
 Here are the files I see as excessive:

In meta-yocto:

   - local.conf.example.extended
   - site.conf.sample
   - auto.conf (That's not even present in my 1.4 workspace.  Is this going
   to be something new in 1.5?)

In the build directory (these files aren't even present for me in 1.4):

   - site.conf
   - auto.conf

Also, I don't see anything specifying machines.  Do you want to break that
out here, or are you thinking that's going to come into play somewhere
else?  If you're thinking of breaking out machines elsewhere, I'd argue
that distros are on a similar level of detail and then also don't belong on
this chart.

Kind regards,

Jerrod
