Using PackageKit and yum on the command line is often painful as we have to always download metadata unless it's less than a few hours old. Being able to update the metadata once a week would be awesome (with the possible exception of security updates) so that we could schedule the 20Mb+ metadata update when the user is idle rather than waiting for updates. I'm wondering what the interest would be in keeping packages referenced in metadata on the mirrors for say a month? We'd probably need a separate fedora-security repo too that's designed to be kept small enough so that metadata checks every day would be not costly in terms of bandwidth and time. If anyone is interested in doing this, you'd be awesome. Thanks. Richard -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
