Description Ian Lepore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-11-15 20:54:48 UTC 
When creating products or distributions that include packages, it can be important to ensure that everything that ends up in the product image came from a version-controlled source.  A pkg(8) option to allow installation only from file:// URLs can help ensure that uncontrolled packages don't accidentally end up getting installed due to accidental oversights such as forgetting to commit runtime dependency packages.

This was discussed briefly with bapt@ on irc, and he requested that I open a PR so it doesn't get forgotten.

Thanks Ian :) For future reference, prefixing category/port: to the issue Summary will ensure that specific ports MAINTAINER is Assigned/CC'd automatically.

Also CC bapt as per comment 0
