 ``bin_package``
 ===============
 
-The :ref:`ref-classes-bin-package` class is a helper class for recipes that extract the
-contents of a binary package (e.g. an RPM) and install those contents
-rather than building the binary from source. The binary package is
-extracted and new packages in the configured output package format are
-created. Extraction and installation of proprietary binaries is a good
-example use for this class.
-
-.. note::
-
-   For RPMs and other packages that do not contain a subdirectory, you
-   should specify an appropriate fetcher parameter to point to the
-   subdirectory. For example, if BitBake is using the Git fetcher (``git://``),
-   the "subpath" parameter limits the checkout to a specific subpath
-   of the tree. Here is an example where ``${BP}`` is used so that the files
-   are extracted into the subdirectory expected by the default value of
-   :term:`S`::
-
-      SRC_URI = "git://example.com/downloads/somepackage.rpm;branch=main;subpath=${BP}"
-
-   See the ":ref:`bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-fetching:fetchers`" section in the BitBake User Manual for
-   more information on supported BitBake Fetchers.
