Check for package list update before downloading #117

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Calling `opkg update` several times will download package lists each time.
When there is a need to check for updates continuously it could lead to 
download big amount of redundant data.
It would be great if `opkg update` could check if package list had been changed 
on the server by downloading only HTTP HEAD before actual downloading.

This would definitely be beneficial, it's less important than fixing some of 
the current bugs though.
