    void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log("Listing packages and getting their source...");
        m_ListRequest = Client.List();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (m_ListRequest != null && m_ListRequest.IsCompleted)
        {
            if (m_ListRequest.Status == StatusCode.Success)
            {
                foreach (var package in m_ListRequest.Result)
                {
                    Debug.Log($"{package.name}: {package.source}");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log($"Package list request failed: {m_ListRequest.Error}");
            }
            m_ListRequest = null;
        }
    }
}
