    This brings up a pet peave of mine, which I wonder if the pkgsrc folks
    could address.

    Could you guys please make 'bmake help' actually print out something
    useful?  Like a summary of commonly used commands?  What it does now
    is really not very useful at all unless you are already a pkgsrc expert.

    (fetch-list, update, replace, pkg_rolling-replace, license stuff,
    package option commands, etc).

    It just drives me nuts, particularly when I'm trying to load up a new
    box and don't have a browser online, or when an update blows up my
    browser :-)
