Bug ID: 294106
Summary: Handbook Localization chapter uses syscons not vt
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Books & Articles
Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: bigsneaky@duck.com
The 'Localization' chapter of the Handbook only covers syscons(4) and not its
replacement vt(4).
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/l10n/_index.adoc
In particular, console setup is described at:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/l10n/#setting-console
Note syscons(4) has been deprecated since Nov 2024:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=8c922db4f3d9
This means there is no mention of e.g. /usr/share/vt/keymaps anywhere in the
Handbook.
