I think that it doesn't matter if there is more than one repository, 
it may be less work if autobuilder packages live elsewhere.

However, I think it is important that there are separate release and 
testing repositories.

Riscpkg should have only the release repositories by default, and the 
testing repositories would need to be added manually. (As is the 
current situation.)

I would also like to see the display coloured differently for packages 
on different repositories.

eg white for official release repositories.
gray for official testing repositories (eg autobuilder)
yellow for unknown ones.
