title: opkg.conf file: src vs src/gz
body: <p>I am looking at different opkg.conf examples on the web and would like a better understanding of the tool and configuration file format.</p>
  
  <p>What is the difference between <code>src</code> and <code>src/gz</code> in the following examples?</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><code>src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages</code></li>
  <li><code>src snapshots http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/geexbox-xbmc-imx6-cuboxi/latest/binaries.cuboxi/packages/</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Where can I find more information about the various options in the config?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
