As much as i like the idea of the application getting out of the way, i'm not sure i see a way of doing this that doesn't involve storing the password in memory for a while, which... seems like a concept with which our more security conscious people would be terribly displeased. Perhaps a different approach might be to solve the core issue, which is that Discover checks for updates (and blocks your other operations) on startup, regardless of how that launch occurred. If that update check did not occur when you launch Discover with some parameter to show a specific application (either from a .deb, .rpm, an appstream link or anything else like that), then you would not suddenly have to wait for a potentially long running update check. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 402928 *** |
