* handbook/network: Clarify use of AmnesiacAlexander Ziaee2025-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When FreeBSD calls itself Amnesiac, that is not actually the hostname. It does that when there is no hostname set. It is not a substitute for assigning a hostname. Setting a hostname or complaining when none is set would introduce a regression for cases where the hostname is assigned by the DHCP server. Attempt to clarify the handbook instead of changing the behavior. PR: 286847 Reported by: jrtc27 Discussed with: linimon

* handbook: ddd was removed in 2019Warner Losh2025-06-252-25/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove obsolete ddd info: that port stopped working with gdb protocol updates in about 2018, and was removed in 2019. It was abandoned upstream around 2009 (last release). A new maintainer appeared in 2013, but apparently didn't work out. Two new maintainers appeared in 2021 and started new releases in 2023. A new port hasn't appeared, though, so remove dangling references. This whole section needs a rewrite, though, since dcons is so limited (first 4GB only) and firewire is getting rare. All that should likely just be removed. We need a good writeup on doing USB-C debugging with the so-called USB-A to USB-A cable. Sponsored by: Netflix

* committers-guide: Drop notion of reference architecturesJohn Baldwin2025-06-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | i386 can no longer be a reference architecture in 15.0 and later. Instead, require new portable features to work on at least one Tier 1 architecture and drop the notion of a separate set of reference architectures. While here, FreeBSD has not been i386-only for so long that the leading sentence now is outdated, so drop it. Reviewed by: imp, lwhsu Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50620
