By default package-get now goes to the local disk to install

is ok (alhough I'm not convinced that the local disk is any more useful a
default than xemacs.org)
It needs to have A location to get package-get-index from.
however to go somewhere else I assume I have to do
Manage Packages -> add download site -> some site. If I select
xemacs.org,
package updated correctly now gets stuff from xemacs.org but
this is not reflected in the menu list (i.e. I would expect a tick by
xemacs.org on the menu to indicate that I had selected it).
That would be nice yes. I have no time now but it should be trivial to
make these entries button style.
Also are the various options one selects (not using PGP, download
site)
saved somehow?
They can be saved using M-x customize-group RET package-get RET
Also IMHO having no default download site would be better than the
local
disk. Currently if no download site is selected and you don't have a
package in /tmp its not obvious what's going wrong. I would have thought an
error message along the lines of "please select a download site" with local
disk (or /tmp) as one of the options would be more helpful.
Note that by default package-get-remote is nil. Probably the package
fetching code (but not the package-get-index code) should complain if
it still is.
