Bug ID: 458462
Summary: Please reduce need for repo refreshes / speed them up
Product: Discover
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kitt...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Discover updates repo caches every time it is started. This becomes a problem
because the process is painfully slow, even if it was already done a couple
minutes before.
Please, reduce the number of caches updates or at least speed them up because
otherwise the whole experience is compromised.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover in any way: click on updates notification, search for a new
app from krunner, or simply click the launcher
2. wait
3. wait
OBSERVED RESULT
You basically end up waiting, on whatever page, for at least 30 seconds.
EXPECTED RESULT
Discover should refresh caches at most once/twice a day, just like DNF does.
And when it does, it should take no more than its CLI backend. Take for example
the use case of searching for an app in krunner: which is wonderful, works like
a charm but then you have to wait a minute or so before the install button
becomes active, and this kinda ruins the game.
Also the progress bar should be reworked as it sits on 75% right away, and
basically makes the whole process scaled to the range 75-100%.
