If you are going to revise all these things, we refer to many ports that are not installed by default and need to be installed before they can be used. It had been like that for like well as long as I am a committer, should we change this?

The only reason I noted this, is because there is a reference to see pkg-search (that points to a web link for the man page) that is unavailable. This happened recently for another man page based off a port that wasn't available until software was installed, and the same logic was applied. I happened to be involved in that commit, as well.

Overall, this change makes sense to me, although the phrasing is weird. The earlier change, not as much. It was a confusion between whether a link to the online man page was available. The link was there, the online man page was not, because they have to be generated by some magic unavailable to mere mortals.

This would be better rearranged:
"After installing ..., see &man.pkg-search.8; for more details."

agreed.

Missing a close </para> tag on this line, but good otherwise.

bcr edited edge metadata.

I think this is fine now.
