Description wollman 2013-05-24 00:10:01 UTC 
pkg(8) doesn't keep track of two bits of information that I consider
fairly important:

1) Which repository the package was obtained from

2) When the package was installed

Under the old packaging system, I often ran "ls -lrt /var/db/pkg" to
figure out which things hadn't been rebuilt/reinstalled that perhaps
should be.  Particularly with pkgng supporting multiple repositories,
it may be important to identify which repository provided a particular
package (e.g., if one is compromised).

Fix: 

Unknown
How-To-Repeat: 
man pkg-info
man pkg-query
pkg info -R somepackage

Concerning the repository the package comes from we don't have the
information yet.

Concerning the date we have it but I do realize it is not documented in 1.0:
in pkg query %t will give your the installation date.

regards,
Bapt
