  • 1. Yes but that wasn't a doubt on itself, but combined with: 2. Not exactly. I want to dnf search without it having to sync previously metadata (and wait those many seconds every so often) 3. I think this could work for me (I didn't understand metadata_expire worked with hours) if I can combine it with the fourth point. Metadata expiring in just 1 day would be nice if I can: 4. Make it refresh the metadata on "background" every day sometime after boot (not too long). What command should I program with cron? Commented Sep 9, 2022 at 15:13
  • And, also, are "metadata" and "cache" the same thing? If those are different things, then I'm not really understanding what updates what. I want sudo install to just behave like it does (install everything on its last version); but I would want dnf search to work without ever having to wait for any "syncthing" (but, ideally, at the same time, have it update that cache/metadata(?) on the background from time to time so its results aren't really old and "out-of-time".
