>Description:

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).

>How-To-Repeat:

man pkg-info
man pkg-query
pkg info -R somepackage

>Fix:

Unknown
