Hi!
I did my best to follow patch submission guidelines
<https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded>
and code styleguide <https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Styleguide> but this
is my very first patch to anything in the Yocto project. Please let me know
if and how I can improve future patch submissions! I figured since it's my
first time, I would follow up and say hello :)
This patch addresses bug 9962
<https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9962> by updating the
documentation of bitbake's -v and -D CLI options. I copied the updated text
directly from the bug report, and changed it both in the code and in the
user manual.
Anyway hi! I hope to contribute more soon :)
