Bug#38567: gnome-apt: Background package downloading..
Package: gnome-apt
Version: 0.3.2
Severity: wishlist
It would be very nice if gnome-apt could allow you to download things in
the background, while still allowing you to play with package selections.
It would be even nicer if it could dynamically change the list of things
to download whilst doing this.
ie:
I select the packages mypackage, hispackage and yapackage. I click "Download
in the background", and it starts downloading those three packages. Then I
decide that I don't want yapackage, but abpackage instead, so I deselect
yapackage and select abpackage. The download process then removes
yapackage from it's queue and adds abpackage to it.
