Well, alrighty then - my mistake. I've been working on these other versions
for so long - sort of loose touch. Then Back to your original question - I
suppose it would be possible to put that functionality back although I will
leave it to others to discuss whether that is setups function to install
packages that it has no knowledge of or not. I do know all enhancements and
patches are gratefully accepted - they even take them from me. :-)

Each time you do a Download from Internet or an Install from Internet - yes.
Obviously an Install from local directory would not. If you copy the
downloaded files and their respective directories/subdirectories in total along
with the setup.ini to a new source point (which is sort of what I thought you
were doing) and keep all your setup.ini changes at the beginning or the end of
the file - then it should be easy cut and paste but it is something most people
would get tired of remembering to do.
