i got 1 idea/ problem
every time i want to download a package thats in extra devel or testing etc i have to enable the repositories then update and then when i disable them i have to update it again so it doesnt download from the extra devel still, wasting a fair amount of my dls swapping all the time and the time i waste swapping it

is it possible to have all repositories enabled and be able to select which repository u want to download the app from? as some apps arent in extras and need to have extra testing or extra devel for certain ones
maybe add a button next to the (no operation)(install) buttons (in the screen after selecting the app)that has what repository its going to be downloaded from
eg defaults to (extras) unless the app isnt located in extras then displays extra testing and if is not in that then displays extra devel and upon clicking that button you can choose what repository u want to download from
so if the app is in all 3 its default is extras and gives you an option to download from extra testing or extra devel (with all repositories enabled)
