Re: DNF: why does it refresh metadata all the time

FYI... update is a deprecated alias for the "upgrade" command​, and has been for a couple of years.  Don't know when they're going to phase it out, but probably a good idea to switch over to get used to it.

Also, to make the changes more permanent, add the following lines to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
metadata_expire=0
metadata_timer_sync=0

That is what I finally did... Of the two years of using DNF I have always had to "dnf clean" before "upgrade" otherwise it would report back no updates were available, even though a "yum update" would report that changes were indeed available.   

I've never had much luck with the "automagic" update utilities.  "kpackagekit" now known "apper" would always startup at the most inopportune times, chugging away, slowing down the system.  I think one of the number one questions has always been how to disable it.  Don't get me wrong, I fully understand how some people love that sort of thing.   I personally alway prefer to do anything upgrade related manually, though the command line, watching as changes are being applied.  I guess I'm not very trusting in that regard.  LOL...  



Just a few weeks ago, I finally got tired of it and searched and found out how to update the dnf.conf.
