This tool can always be used to enable either Derivative's stable, testers or developers repository or to disable Derivative's repository.
Derivative's APT Repository is not enabled by default. Some users prefer this for trust/security reasons.
On first boot of Derivative, the Derivative Repository Tool gets automatically started by setup-dist. The user is free to either leave Derivative's repository disabled or to configure it as desired.
Technically speaking, this tool creates or deletes file
/etc/sources.list.d/derivative.list
.
