FR (packagekit): allow refreshing the cache #712

Closed phm07 closed 1 year ago

phm07 commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I'm currently using this repo's PackageKit bindings in my Go project, since there is no other library available. It would be nice to have a mapping for the RefreshCache method, because GetUpdates() will only return cached and possibly out of date packages otherwise.

Since there have been no changes to packagekit.go for a few years and RefreshCache() is probably not needed for your project, I can imagine that this FR would not have very high priority. It would still be possible to spawn pkcon refresh subprocess, although a mapping in the library would be better. Please let me know if you are interested in implementing this.

Best regards

Patches are certainly welcome! If you cannot write the patch but want such a feature anyways, then you would have to pay money for it, but that could probably be arranged. Cheers

Btw, your https://github.com/pauhull/bananascript/ library looks really interesting! Maybe helping out with our compiler would be really fun for you! We'd certainly appreciate it.
