Subject: [PATCH] dev-manual: update bmaptool section, refer to "bmaptool" package
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 12:22:16 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b3901bb2-dbcc-3145-caec-c2dfb87f5dc9@crashcourse.ca> (raw)


Update the section on "bmaptool" to use the newer "bmaptool" package
name rather than the older "bmap-tools" name (which still exists but
is simply a transitional package).
