* docs: fix $(PKG)_SITE_METHOD names (UPPER CASE => lower case)Bjørn Forsman2011-02-061-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the documentation says $(PKG)_SITE_METHOD should have upper case names such as SVN or GIT, but the implementation only accepts lower case svn or git. This fixes the documentation.

* Remove support for shared configuration cacheThomas Petazzoni2010-11-051-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it altogether. This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache infrastructure and usage.

Removed redundant or useless html code. Changed foo to libfoo, for consistency. Changed page bookmarking to use header id's. Re-flowed paragraphs to line break at 80 characters.
