From 83b5ea9d18772334a47c3d76c6ca73a123cac12c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Cournoyer Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 23:46:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gnu: isc-bind: List included utilities in the description. A frequent question was: "Which package contained the 'dig' utility?" This change should make the question answerable through 'guix search'. * gnu/packages/dns.scm (isc-bind)[synopsis]: Remove leading article. [description]: Add a table listing the utilities contained in the 'utils' output and insert a missing space between two sentences.
