This bug was filed by Gary Thomas and was requesting more information
on the "hows" and "whys" of setting up your own package repositories.
At this point, I have added information to help the user understand
build performance issues when choosing between the RPM and IPKG packaging
systems. Likely, there is more that needs to be added to fully address
this bug.
For now, I added explanations in the packaging class and glossary areas
of the YP reference manual, a new paragraph in the YP QS just prior to
firing off a build, and a new bit of information in the configuring
PMS in the ADT Manual.

Because the Crownbay uses both EMGD and non-EMGD statments in the
linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend file I had to do some explaining. It turns out
you don't really need to just delete or comment out the non-applicable
statements.
I also adjusted some wording around the tuning file example. This file
I assumed was in the conf directory of the meta-crownbay directory.
It is really in the meta/conf/machine/include directory.

Complete re-write of this section based on feedback from Dave Stewart.
Dave's comments centered around not being able to understand the overall
concepts of the Git repositories, the source areas on the host, etc.
I have added several illustrations and written around them to try and
better explain the kernel storage system in Git used by YP and how
that tranlates into host-resident code that the developer ultimately
uses and the Poky build system uses for the build.

There is a section in the YP ref manual that gives reference type information
on adding a machine. This type of information is detailed well in the
BSP example appendix in the development manual. I don't want to completely
eliminate the information in the YP ref manual as is suggested by the
910 bug. I think referencing it in the dev manual for now works.
