Description Matthias Clasen 2015-03-10 11:20:03 EDT

PackageKit currently uses (homegrown) heuristics to avoid downloading large amounts of updates when the connection looks like it might be 'expensive'.
It would be nice if NetworkManager made this information available in a systematic (and probably more reliable) way.

Feature was verified on all supported architectures. Manual yes/no and guess yes/no with ANDROID_METERED flag is now visible to 3rd party apps via dbus.
