+Alpine is the replacement for the Pine email and news client.
+
+Alpine is a screen-oriented message-handling tool. In its default
+configuration, Alpine offers an intentionally limited set of
+functions geared toward the novice user, but it also has a large
+list of optional "power-user" and personal-preference features.
+
+This package currently only installs the alpine binary, excluding
+the pilot and pico binaries which would cause it to conflict with
+the pine package.
