    The past has proven that the Runnix URL should be automatic and not a user configurable URL that may become stale in the future.  The "upgrade-RUNNIX-image" script should contain the default URL, not webgui-prefs.txt.

    So, no to 'system_runnix_repository_url' in the standard AstLinux.

    But if you feel you need your own Runnix repo, sure ... the beauty of Open Source Software.
