We use the same method for "yum has changed something" as we do for "we have resumed, something might have changed" - which for the former we want to update things like the icon straight away, and the other we might want to wait a few minutes like you suggest. Maybe we can add a flag to the method to signify importance, or maybe just use another method altogether. Do you see any other interactions here? Created attachment 304612 [details]
suggested patch
What about this?
Ah, as a non-coder doing my bit for Fedora by testing stuff and filing bugs that's all greek to me. ;-] What I know is that when I resume my laptop, my email client, yum/pk and probably a couple of other applications (like Firefox) all jump onto the network and start downloading stuff. I want to get to my email as quick as I can and having pk chewing up bandwidth in the first few minutes of resume (or startup) isn't going to make that happen. I'm also pretty sure that I'm not alone in this (my wife complains about this too - except she just says to me, why do my emails take so long to download when I resume?). If that patch stops pk (or yum) from grabbing updates for 5 minutes, leaving a little time for other apps to get settled then it sounds like a fine patch to me and something that is good. 8-] I've merged that patch into master, but I'll be some time before it gets in F9 as it's in extream lockdown mode right now. |
