Download docsets asyncronously with async package #164

Closed kidd closed 6 years ago

looks like it's working to make async downloads for docsets.

I've tried it and it's working well. However, during the download of a heavy package the user doesn't have any feedback. Do you know if there is some mechanism to provide feedback to the user?

no idea, and I don't think it can be done (easily), cause that message would be blocking the "host" emacs, so we'd be in the same situtation we wanna avoid

Maybe a simple (message "downloading package %s... please wait") would be something at least.
