>Description:

pkg-repo(8) states:

     Symbolic links are ignored, and only the most recent package for
     each origin is included in the catalogue.

Every time I have created a repository, I have discovered that only the
oldest version of each package is included in the catalogue.

>How-To-Repeat:

 - Start with empty packages directory
 - build ports and create packages
 - update ports tree
 - build ports and create packages for updated ports
 - Create repository catalogue with pkg-repo(8)
 - Query catalogue for one of the updated ports and note old version

>Fix:

Workaround is to remove older versions of packages from the packages
directory, so that only the latest version of each package is present
prior to creating the repository.
