Sources Window
The Sources Window allows you to specify the locations where packages
are held.
You may have multiple package sources defined at once and
they will be merged into a single list in PackMan.
Only the sources shown with a tick before them will be used in the
next update of the package lists. Use the Enable/Disable button to
change which are used.
For a list of suggested sources and a little information on each
see the Known Sources page.
