Package: appstream Version: 0.12.11-1 Followup-For: Bug #820533 I wish these files to be fetched. But imho, this has no place while doing apt update. These fetches **will** block upgrading packages, which makes no sense
Just convert them on some service that feteches them once a day or something, or even launch it every time you apt update to not change people expectations. Or 5 minutes after doing apt update so they dont affect apt update speed... or launch it as a trigger when apt update finishes... So many options PS: Absolutely every desktop out there will benefit from this. Everybody will suddenly think, wow, apt got very fast, how did they manage to do this magic? Kudos to everybody involve.
