It is currently broken in edgy, but software-properties can handle
sources.list files. So if a repository maintainer provides a
sources.list that contains his or her apt line and an additional
comment, the user could add the repository by double clicking on the
downloaded file or droping it on the third party repo list.
Until a fixed package appears you can find the patch attached to this
mail.
Cheers,
Sebastian

It would be fairly trivial to add a text file to the Apt repository that had a simple one-line description of the repository's contents (perhaps in multiple languages). Hell, it's not much more work than setting up the repository in the first place - I'd do it the next time I upload a Wine package. This also seems like a far more elegant approach than trying to maintain a config file of known repositories in the system somewhere. Such a file would either become quickly out of date or a pain to keep current - a change would require the repository owner contacting the maintainer of the config and then having him update it and then having the user download the update.

This would require that users write their own descriptions, and thus I do not think that it would be used in most circumstances. The only time this would be useful in a significant way would be if the user downloaded and used a sources.list that was posted somewhere. However, given the hideousness of most lists I have seen posted for Ubuntu (Treviño's, for example), I would imagine that this is something we want to highly discourage. Perhaps it would be better to allow repositories to add an extra file that would contain a title and description, and then use that information? Such a method would require that repositories do extra work to support it, but I expect that most safe repositories would do so.

Others have already pointed out all the 3rd party repositories I've ever
dealt with, so I thought I'd just throw out an idea here.
Since repositories are always going to change throughout any release
cycle, you can never know all the repositories that are going to become
common. Even if it is not common, it would be nice to be able to create
a description, thus my proposition:
If a repository is not found in the configuration file that you keep
this description list in, a comment one line above the deb line in the
sources.list is used. When new repositories are added using the
Software Sources dialog, it could prompt for this description, and add
the comment along with the source line. It may be necessary to precede
with, and check for, a double hash, or something similar to ensure that
the comment is not just another commented repository, but such
functionality would allow the addition of any repository with an
accompanying description.
I have not done any Python coding, so I don't know how difficult this
would be to implement, but it seems like a flexible implementation. The
main issue I see with it is the same issue that people have with the way
comments are used in the menu.lst. Some people don't like that the
comments are used as more than normal comments... Thoughts?

Thanks for sharing your sources list. I am not sure if this is such a good approach. If there is highly recommended software, we should try to get it into the Ubuntu archive and not encourage users to install software from somehow untrusted software providers.

Wow! This is a pretty good idea.
In the software sources program, the Third Party tab can be renamed to
Custom Software Sources or something, and there could be a tab added
where you can check some checkboxes for third party repositories. It
could be called "Extra Repositories" or something. But the only problem
I can think of is that we're always being told, "don't use 3rd party
repositories". I suppose that what we could do is add a not saying
something like, "These repositories are not supported or reccomended by
Cannonical, and are only added here for your conveinience, as they are
commonly used."
My list of repositories, with captions are:
deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free #Skype
deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable #nVidia Beta
Drivers (There are various mirrors of this, but I haven't a clue what
they are)
deb http://seveas.theplayboymansion.net/seveas edgy-seveas extras
#Seveas' Extras (There are other mirrors and components of this
repository, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages)
deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main #Beryl (There are mirrors
of this, too)

It's the official Wine repository, budgetdedicated just sponsor it.
Great idea, BTW. I think pushing third party repos for auxiliary
software is worthwhile.
