>Description:
We have a new mailing list, freebsd-pkg, which bapat@ has
requested.
This is the update for the Handbook for its description.
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
>Fix:
As is usual, the below is a result of pasting the "terse"
and "verbose" descriptions in what looked to me like
appropriate places (using simple pattern-matching). Please
edit the below as appropriate.
