Erm, isn't a hourly cronjob a bit exaggerated? Mirrors only update
daily, and the already existing cronjob for apt runs once a day.
Also, why can't smart use the already existing downloaded apt cache?
Eventually it just gets the Packages.gz files, we don't provide any
other index. Why does it
This hourly cronjob was debated yesterday on #ubuntu-devel. For now, we
are keeping it, specially because we changed it so it only runs when
landscape-client itself is running:

mirrors

Hi Chris,
Given that landscape-client starts a daemon if enabled (/usr/bin
/landscape-client, launched from /etc/init.d/landscape-client), wouldn't
it be preferable to have landscape-client itself run this update
periodically, rather than having cron run it?
Alternatively, could you adjust this
Would a daily cron job be possible ?
An hourly cron job would put unnecessary strain on the archive. Update-
notifier and the apt update cron job are run on daily basis.
