Description Simon Barner 2004-02-16 15:00:32 UTC 
As stated by Richard Coleman in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2004-February/005714.html

the development(7) man page should be cross-referenced in other parts of
the FreeBSD documentation, e.g. in the Developer's Handbook.

I could even imagine a section in Chapter 2 "Programming Tools", which could
be something like "Setting up a FreeBSD development environment", where
the (eventually revised) contents of the man page could be rewritten
in DocBook. I could do the man page -> DocBook conversion, but without
any contributions with regards to contents.

If a new section in the Developer's Handbook in inappropriate, then the
man page should be at least be linked somewhere.

Fix: 

N/A
How-To-Repeat:

Thanks for the submission.  I added a link to development.7 in the 
Further Reading section.  It may take up to 24 hours for this change 
to appear on the website.
