So I was wondering.. Whenever you add an PPA, you always get 2 entries. One "normal" PPA and a source code PPA (the one that says (source) at the end of the line). Since I am normally not interested in the source code, can the source code entries be safely deleted from the PPA list? I like to keep things clean and might even improve the speed when updating.. :P

    Probably it's ok, but realistically how much time can you gain from deleting the source line? 0.01 seconds?, it takes more time to download Translation files than anything else. Jan 8, 2013 at 21:23

    Yeah, probably not a whole lot but again, I don't like to have that list cluttered with double entries. It's just to keep things nice and tidy I guess..

Unless you need the source code for some reason (curiosity, etc.), yes, they can be safely removed.
