Ability to specify the time packages are updated #19

It would be quite nice to be able to specify the time packages are updated

rranelli commented 9 years ago

hm, I don't see myself using it, but that might be nice.

Do you intend to do something like checking for updates every day at, say, 3 a.m. ? Since package updates block the world and take quite some time, I think that might be the more reasonable use for the feature.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant, I probably didn't articulate it very well 8-)

rranelli commented 9 years ago

Alright, I will have a take at this when I get some free time o/

AlexChesters commented 9 years ago

Cool, cheers!

@AlexChesters, done at be83ab1 using the great timer.el built-in library. This will probably be available at Melpa in a few hours as version 1.5.

I think this will probably suit you, right?

Thanks !

Thanks @rranelli! Exactly what I wanted :-)
