> restrict this to using idle bandwidth This is *hard* because you don't know what the rest of the network is doing. I think perhaps you would want the user to opt-in to background downloading like Windows XP gives users the option. There would also need to be a default threshold of free disk space where it will avoid downloading stuff in order to prevent completely filling up the disk. > purge cache area seperate from the existing yum cache or up2date spool area. I don't think using a separate download area for this makes any sense. Adding FutureFeature keyword to RFE's. Do we still want to do this? I know that this comes up from time to time, and I also think that it needs to be opt-in if we do it. PK has an option to do something like this, IIRC. Assigning there, in any case. I don't think PK should second guess the user more than it does already. I don't want Graham (http://packagekit.org/pk-profiles.html) to have the Internet "slow down" for no reason, nor for the computer to start doing too much work when idle as ideally we should be powersaving. |
