Description
The problem
The AUR has been under attack in a few different ways lately. Some packages are made to look like other packages to cause problems on arch based systems.
What about a way to include a repostories starting date on the command line when you are searching for and/or installing.
If the date is made available right there on the command line, most people will see an obvious problem, like, "why is that libre-office package only 3 days old?"
While anyone can go to a browser and check on any package at any time, having a way to access that from the command line would be a great way to help prevent issues, particularly for a person who is reinstallihng and has a million packages to add.
Additional context
I know Arch is all about RTFM, and this won't take away from that. It will just make common sense information more readily available.
