Bug 143342

Summary: Developer's handbook contains stale information.
Product: Documentation Reporter: Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz>

Description Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2010-01-29 12:10:08 UTC 
The following pages:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-post-mortem.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-kld.html

can be removed altogether, because steps described on them are not neccessary for a long time - MAKEOPTIONS -g is default since at least 7.2, and kgdb(1) already knows how to load kernel modules and symbols without any configuration or user intervention.

  Log:
  Remove two sections about kerneldebugging (post mortem analysis and
  loadable modules using gdb) because the steps described in them are
  not necessary anymore for quite a long time.
  
  A rewrite would be in order, but since this goes beyond the scope of
  the PR, I'll just remove them for now.
