" OscarL added an option to pkgman to not refresh repo caches on install (--no-refresh )."

Thank you, OscarL! This has annoyed me for years.

It was a pain in the rear for me too :smiley:.

I had tried a couple of times to implement this in the past, but failed. This time it just clicked, and I still can’t understand why I couldn’t see before how simple it was to do. (guess I just needed at least 3 separate reads on the related code to finally understand it, heh).

Anyway… happy as a dog with two tails now with my: alias pki="pkgman install --no-refresh".

That’s great news - is that IPv4-only so far, or also already covering IPv6?

Thank you for all your hard work everyone.

I didn’t implement any of the things needed for IPv6, no. But you can look at the commits, it wasn’t much work for v4, and the equivalent changes for v6 are probably similar.

For the common user like me, there was not much to see or to explore that developement month!

Kind of quiet in terms of visible changes or improvements.

Lot of technical work was done, which I do not understand!

Anyway, thank you all developer for continue work on HAIKU…
