1.8.2 manual describes debugger breakpoint functionality that doesn't exist

1.8.2 manual describes debugger breakpoint functionality that doesn't exist

[Mike Gran]

Hi-

The 1.8.2 manual, in the 3.4.X Intro to Breakpoints section describes
functionality that doesn't exist, and suggests adding to the .guile
file the following libraries that do not appear in the distro

(ice-9 debugger breakpoints)
(ice-9 debugger breakpoints source)
(ice-9 debugger breakpoints procedural)

I seem to recall that there was a thread about moving these to their
own package, right?

Thanks,

Mike Gran

Right.  At some point before 1.8.1 was released, Neil started
integrating Guile-Debugging [0] into 1.8 and HEAD.  Then it was
suggested that putting it into the 1.8 branch may not be appropriate, so
he removed it.  He must have left the doc bits you're referring to at
that moment.  We'll fix it in 1.8.3.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

Well I didn't manage to fix the manual in time for 1.8.3, but it is
fixed now in 1.8.x CVS, so will be correct in 1.8.4.  Apologies for
any confusion caused!
