Software sources mention channel information

Bug Description

Using edgy knot3 live cd.

When I open System->Administration->Software and change eg. Download from, the Close button yields "The channel information is out-of-date"

Nowhere in the UI is there a mention of what a channel is.

If I read the desktop guide via Help->System Documentation->Working with your Desktop->Adding, Removing and Updating Applications->Software Repositories

it mentions repositories.

Consistency is needed. I suggest rewording the Software Sources to mention repositories instead.

A elegant solution would be to place a help icon on the dialog which mentions Channel and open the help which I mentioned ("What is a repository?" link to help).

I removed all references to channels in my local branch. It has not yet been uploaded since we had a freeze for KNOT 3.
