Files Databases Are Always Downloaded When Installing Updates #368

Closed lots0logs closed 6 years ago

lots0logs commented 6 years ago

This was originally reported on #272 and it still occurs in the latest version of pamac.

From #272:

Currently Pamac automatically refreshes the databases when you click install updates. Often times refreshing is unnecessary because it was just refreshed prior to showing the available updates. However, I know that depending on the user's settings there will be times when the refresh is necessary. I think it would better if the .files databases for each repo were not downloaded when performing a refresh prior to installing updates. The .files databases are much larger than the normal databases and so it delays the whole process quite a bit.

PR coming shortly...

It would be nice if there was an option like:

Auto-Refresh databases if they are older than [xxx] minutes (default:20?)

and don't refresh on Software Install mode. Any thoughts?

@guinux I thought of a way to solve this issue. Let me know what you think.
