Bug Description

Install apparmor-docs and sudo gunzip techzip.pdf.gz to unzip the docs then open in a pdf viewer.

On page 12 the apparmor walkthrough does not lead to a an apparmor walktrhough but just developer.novel.com

http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Apparmor

Then in section 4.1 the kernel patches and configuration git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git which suggests a git version of 4.1 that you need patches to add apparmor to the kenrel so this section is probably not relevent anymore.

The link to the second refrence to http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/ does not seem to work anymore either.

Also the second refrence

Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10

We experienced a bit of an emergency migration to a new server and are working on getting our content back on-line. We are sorry for the interruption of services. The site is fairly complex to get set-up and at the moment we just do not have the resources to be able to do so.
I expected the links in the -docs package to work instead they seem to be broken and may link in sections no longer relevent.

Brendan, did you otherwise find the document useful? It's aged enough that I've contemplated removing it entirely (or more likely, removing it from our package builds to reduce the burden on builders, but that's only worth doing if the thing itself is worth keeping...)

Is it worth keeping as-in? Would it be worth keeping if it had minor editing? Would it be worth keeping if it had a major overhaul?

Thanks

I think it is marginally useful I learned a few things but could use a major overhaul.
