[OPPM] Repurpose `update`, add `upgrade`, add info caching?

[fnuecke]

I'm thinking it'd be nice to have a logic similar to certain Linux package mangers, where update fetches the list of packages from the repositories and caches it locally, and have upgrade do what update does now. Then all informational commands like list and info could work offline, which has the main benefit of being a lot faster. install could also just lookup the repo to install from from the local cache, speeding that up, too.

That might be the next thing to do. Good idea, for now, the current system will work. I'll look into it.

Changed to On Hold since it would defeat the purpose of a lightweight package manager.

This would be awesome (very old thread lol)

Maybe oppm could cache in the /tmp directory. That way it doesn't take space on the hdd and cache data for at least the runtime of the computer. It would make successive listing or info work faster
