            Bug ID: 204570
           Summary: pkg(8) needs an option to prevent fetching packages
                    via the network
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ian at FreeBSD.org

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.
