Thank you for the hints. I discovered that you have to look into the 
Release file of the repository. There you find things like origin, 
label, etc. Concerning the linex site: I couldn't access the Release 
file with a browser, I don't know the exact url, but I could filter it 
as release c=linex.

Unfortunately it all depends on the owner of the repository. I would 
prefer to depend it on the site address, since this is real.

Florian.
