why is it locked for no good reason at all
I am assuming that the normal running of a Fedora system it is odd to
have updates
happening as part of a boot up. The exception to this rule is akmods that handles
the problem of updating kernel modules after a new kernel is installed.
If this assumption is reasonable, at least for now, then fixing dnf-makecache
to use cron and to be off by default will make the world a happy and reliable place
again.
If my assumptions are wrong and dnf folks manage to keep their dnf-makecache in the
system
Then akmods would be forced to work with this in the system
the dnf-cache timer is one of the dumbest things ever
* wasting bandwidth
* introducing other troubles
* completly useless at all
why do i need the cache refresehd until there
is a intention to install / update packages and
then the data my be outdated instead pull it *now*
