I used easyurpmi for a while, mainly to add PLF sources, or to specify a<br>
specific mirror when there was some mirroring problems in MDV (hdlist<br>
not synced with repository content for instance).<br>
<br>
As noted previously, the PLF issue does not hold for MGA.<br>
<br>
It is probably worth improving the way the current media manager is<br>
working than add yet another tool to the distrib.<br>
<br>
We could have for instance checkboxes when importing media sources with:<br>
<br>
- select mirror: by default let the media manager find a mirror for you,<br>
else select one in a list<br>
- include tainted: by default disable access to tainted repository. Warn<br>
the user about the content of those repositories.<br>
<br>
The main point is that people often do not know about the media manager.<br>
Maybe a button to that tool directly in the update app would give it<br>
more visibility, instead of looking into it on the package manager menu.<br>
Or maybe it should be an app on its own.<br>
