Subject: ref-manual: Updated the RDEPENDS variable description.
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=047790941efeac01bf8c5ecec6625a48c4cbbfb3;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

ref-manual: Updated the RDEPENDS variable description.

Fixes [YOCTO #10445]

Pointed out that the EXTENDPKGV variable is hard to locate in the
BB manual.  Firstly, we don't document that variable in the
BB manual.... maybe we should.  For the ref-manual, however, it is
barely referenced in a side example from the dev-manual.  So, I
updated the RDEPENDS variable to have a "Tip" box in the area where
it is shown how to use the package version as part of the RDEPENDs
variable.
