Can we have a fix which is quicker than "in some nebulous future there will be a library"?
There is nothing to "fix". There is no bug. Gnome Software downloads the metadata on its own a DNF does that as well. Until you somehow *integrate* these two programs, there is no way how to solve that. Integration always means a cooperation between the two teams and that always takes some time to carefully plan things.
Well, it's a regression from the yum time. With this information it is even worse, as bandwidth and storage space is wasted downloading metadata twice. I see two short-term solutions: 1. the meta data stores are combined (I assume that even the Gnome system uses dnf as its backend?). A simple lock to avoid concurrent access and we're set. 2. If that seems like too much work, at least trigger a dnf metadata update once gnome-software finds an update. Maybe that could be as simple as copying the metadata? As a workaround, is it enough to set the /org/gnome/software/download-updates dconf value to false to disable gnome-software from downloading metadata? I wouldn't use it anyway with requiring restarts for every little update.
