Public bug reported:
Hi,
Over the years, I have added quite a number of PPAs to my repositories
for a number of packages I use regularly. However, as I prefer most of
the time to use the packages from the Ubuntu repositories, I keep most
PPAs disabled, unless there is a specific reason for using the version
from the PPA.
Could you please consider adding some way of sorting to the view
displaying the list of the "Other Repositories"? As the sorting key, I
would suggest to use the comment that the user can add to each source.
This way, the user also has control over the order in which the
repositories are displayed.
As a fallback for repositories without comment, the address of the
repository might be used. However, the list of the repositories with a
comment should not be mixed with those without a comment. The
repositories without comment might be displayed under the list of
repositories with a comment. In fact, I assume that the user will add a
comment to the repositories important to him; thus, it might be good
displaying these at the top.
Finally, I tried to look for the upstream location of this package to
file this bug; but I was not able to find it. If this is not the right
place for this bug, please let me know.
Cheers,
Francesco
