Hi Folks,

I'm wondering what the purpose of the origins setting is for a pkgrepo.
I have a local repo which will mirror one or more origin URIs, and will
probably use pkgrecv or rsync in a cron job to keep it synchronized.
Given that, what does setting this property exactly do for me?

See pkgrepo(1):

       repository/origins
            A list of locations (URIs) of repositories that contain
            a complete copy of the repository's package metadata
            and content.

Clients will use the additional locations listed as alternate sources to get the package data found in the repository where you set this. You should only specify sources that contain exactly the same package data.
