Actually there is a small meta file(repomd.xml) that tells if the repo was updated or not. If the
repo was updated the whole primary.xml is downloaded. And crosschecked with your installed
packages for updates. And if there are any matches then you have an update notificaton.
If I'm not mistaken this is how basicly yum works(i may be wrong)
If you just consider the timestamp and notify that there are updates if it changed. Then you have
to go trough "Do you want to check if some of your installed packages were updated?" And most
probably you'll get "Sorry, no updates yet" (unless you installed every single fedora parckage) .
This creates pointless clicking and waste of time.
is there a way to check this? or is this documented anywhere?
