Description Andrew Nicks 2020-07-22 15:39:38 UTC 
I only use transmission-daemon and transmission-remote (haven't needed create etc) and have just tried first install/upgrade of 3.00.

I started by pkg install transmission-daemon (which is all I ever installed before), and it took a while to work out why I didn't get transmission-remote any more!  pkg upgrade of another installation also made it dissapear.

The following points didn't help me work it out quicker...

* The pkg-descr for transmission-daemon still says "transmission-remote (included)" so I didn't immediately check if it was still in the plist
* There wasn't and UPDATING message highlighting it's move to transmission-utils
* I read the PR associted with split of utils, but on first pass it seemed a change to transmission-cli rather than transmission-daemon
* The pkg-descr for transmission-utils says it is "the tools to create and manipulate torrent files", which doesn't really fit what transmission-remote does

I suggest following change in transmission-daemon pkg-descr :
"The transmission-daemon is a daemon-based Transmission session that can
be controlled via RPC by transmission-remote (included) and other
Transmission BiTtorrent client such as GTK+ and CLI interface."
to something like :
"The transmission-daemon is a daemon-based Transmission session that can
be controlled via RPC by transmission-remote (see transmission-utils) and other
Transmission BiTtorrent client such as GTK+ and CLI interface."

Thank you
