[yocto] is the ref manual DISTRO_FEATURES list meant to be exhaustive?

[David Nyström]

Hi,

I sent the sdk-pms patch/es, it seems to have been merged to poky-docs but not in oe-core.
Richard, how do you want this fixed ?

  in case this is helpful, here's the full list i came up with using a
simple grep search looking through the dora 10.0 source tree for
DISTRO_FEATURES tests of values that aren't listed in section 10.1 of
the ref manual:

 3g
 acl
 directfb
 ipv4
 largefile
 libc-posix-clang-wchar
 ld-is-gold
 multiarch
 nfc
 openvg
 pam
 pie
 pulseaudio
 ptest
 sysvinit
 x11
 xattr
 zeroconf

conversely, there *are* a few values listed in section 10.1 of the ref
manual that don't appear to be tested for anywhere (typo? obsolete?)

 ext2
 irda (this is a MACHINE feature but not a DISTRO feature)
 sdk-pms

for what it's worth. i'm about to do the same scan for
MACHINE_FEATURES.
