There's no risk - the script doesn't change anything at all (it's only reading files). You'll need to download the script from the site and save it to your N900. Then open X Terminal and type in the following:

Code:

cd MyDocs
perl package_sources.pl > sources.txt

The sources.txt file will then contain information on which packages you've installed and which repository they're currently found in. You can then either copy the file to your PC to look though, or directly get a list of which packages are from extras-devel by running:

Code:

grep -i extras-devel sources.txt

If the repository is not named "extras-devel" on your phone then you'll need to change that bit. You can do similar for extras-testing.

Oh, and you'll need to make sure the repositories are still enabled before running this - if they're not enabled then the script can't find which packages the repository contains.
