manual/getting started: rework 'Getting Buildroot' section
This patch reworks the 'Getting Buildroot' section of the manual as follows: - be more specific on the Buildroot release cycle - refer to the download page of the website for details on snapshots and git, instead of duplicating the information.

== Getting Buildroot
|
||||
|
||||
Buildroot releases are made approximately every 3 months. Direct Git
|
||||
access and daily snapshots are also available, if you want more
|
||||
bleeding edge.
|
||||
Buildroot releases are made every 3 months, in February, May, August and
|
||||
November. Release numbers are in the format YYYY.MM, so for example
|
||||
2013.02, 2014.08.
|
||||
|
||||
Releases are available at http://buildroot.net/downloads/[].
|
||||
|
||||
The latest snapshot is always available at
|
||||
http://buildroot.net/downloads/snapshots/buildroot-snapshot.tar.bz2[],
|
||||
and previous snapshots are also available at
|
||||
http://buildroot.net/downloads/snapshots/[].
|
||||
|
||||
To download Buildroot using Git, you can simply follow the rules
|
||||
described on the "Accessing Git" page
|
||||
(http://buildroot.net/git.html[]) of the Buildroot website
|
||||
(http://buildroot.net[]). For the impatient, here's a quick recipe:
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
$ git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
Release tarballs are available at http://buildroot.org/downloads/[].
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to follow development, you can use the daily snapshots or
|
||||
make a clone of the Git repository. Refer to the
|
||||
http://buildroot.org/download[Download page] of the Buildroot website
|
