            Bug ID: 288455
           Summary: pkg.conf(5) truncated sentence in section VARIABLES
                    for OSVERSION, and mis-spell "Specifiy"
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sr@genyosha.net

In pkg.conf(5) man page there appears to be a truncated sentence in the
VARIABLES section for the item OSVERSION:

     OSVERSION
             If targeting FreeBSD, expands to the target version in the same
             format as __FreeBSD_version in

Note the lack of a trailing "." period like other items. I suspect this
sentence is intended to have similar content as the corresponding OSVERSION
item in the OPTIONS section, i.e. the rest of the sentence is presumably:

             /usr/include/sys/param.h.

Also, there is a typo/mis-spell in OSVERSION text in the OPTIONS section:

     OSVERSION: integer
                  Specifiy the exact FreeBSD version for the target ABI. This
                  should be set in combination with the ABI option.  The
                  format is the same as the format of __FreeBSD_version in
                  /usr/include/sys/param.h.  Default: derived based on
                  ABI_FILE.

I think "Specifiy" should be "Specify".
