Bug ID: 288523
Summary: FreeBSD handbook chapter 12: outdated debootstrap
recomendation
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Website
Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: mikael@oxcrag.net
In chapter 12.3.3 of the FreeBSD handbook, on using a Ubuntu userland in the
Linuxulator, the recommended command is `debootstrap focal /compat/ubuntu`.
Focal is EOL since the end of May 2025 so should no longer be the recommended
version. Since there is no apparent way of installing Noble with debootstrap
currently, the correct example command until that happens should be
`debootstrap jammy /compat/ubuntu`.
Also the list of Ubuntu repositories to be placed in /etc/apt/sources.list in
the Linuxulator chroot environment, will need to have focal replaced with
jammy.
In the `uname -s -r -m` example, a current (14.3-RELEASE-p1) version of FreeBSD
outputs `Linux 5.15.0 x86_64` on the appropriate architecture.
