- leads to Reddit

- is followed by a toot with your suggestions – primarily for the 
attention of Ed Maste, who has taken great interest in (separate) 
discussion of the absence of a FreeBSD Project-provided package.

Reddit unofficially offers a link to the required package, for AMD64.

Zhenlei: thank you, and my apologies for not responding sooner.

(I have been necessarily more focused on pkgbase, than on freebsd-update.)

Kind regards
Graham
