DetailsWhen packages have dependencies it is hard to see from which repository the dependecies have to be installed (or built).
It would be nice to have an icon or label near the link to the dependency indicating the repository. For each repository the icon could be the Arch Logo itself displayed in different colors depending on the repository, e.g. core=green, extra=blue, community=purple, multilib=olive, AUR=red. |

Why is the repository important?

Having the repositories displayed an user can decide depending on the required repositories and amount of dependencies from a (unliked) location to install the package. It is always an own taste to enable or disable some of the repository locations in the local repositories list.

The AUR doesn't know which repository a package belongs to. Implementing this would involve syncing pacman DBs and parsing pacman DBs on every package details page access. I don't think the feature is much asked for, so I don't think it is worth all the work and the additional load on every request. You can use an AUR helper or simply write a small shell script using the RPC interface to achieve this, though.
