I know this is a fairly quick action most of the time, but here in Cuba many people use modem connections with really low speeds, a few KB per second, so I tend to take that into consideration (maybe more than needed). Regarding the patch to packagekit-gnome .. let me take a look at the code and I'll come back at you on that. I believe that is the most elegant solution for my specific problem: have gpk-application check if a refresh-package-list is needed at start. Best regards, D.H.

If you use PackageKit-glib2, and some of the code in gnome-packagekit (GpkTask) it's a few lines of code. I'm still not sure showing the user feedback for a refresh cache operation, but that's up to you. Note, you can refresh using gpk-application, and it wouldn't hurt to add a patch like you originally suggested. I'm awaiting patches :) Richard. _______________________________________________ PackageKit mailing list PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit </div></body></html>
