Bug ID: 195432
Summary: send-pr(1) links dead as of FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]

I'm about to install FreeBSD for the first time, and started to read the lovely
handbook.
I followed the link to send-pr(1) from:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/history.html#development-committers
and was surprised to see:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=send-pr&sektion=1
Sorry, no data found for `send-pr(1)'. Please try a keyword search.
After some digging, I landed on:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.1R/relnotes.html#userland
which explains it:
The FreeBSD Project has migrated from the GNATS bug tracking
system to Bugzilla. The send-pr(1) utility used for submitting
problem reports has been replaced with a stub shell script that
instructs to use the Bugzilla web interface. [r267734]
So this is a little tricky -- the latest FreeBSD doesn't use send-pr(1), but
older versions do. Should the handbook still refer to send-pr(1)? If so, should
the man links somehow reference the last version that supported it?
Thanks!
