            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: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: kim.grasman at gmail.com

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!
