New offline updater

[claydoh]

Now, of course if *all* updates via Discover are offline, that would be very poopy.
I need to find some things to update to test.

Very poopy...

I don't read kde.org. I was a member but I asked to be removed a while back. It was boring and these forums (As well as Fedora & Linux Mint forums) are enough!

I don't think all updates are offline. Just the Plasma-specific bits? At least that's my perception. As you showed in that expanded screenshot, they seem to be grouped separately from the 'other' updates.

I thought so myself, as my first two updates after this was turned on was the Plasma 5.21.4 upgrade, followed by stuff from the Mesa PPA I use. Reasonable stuff.
But nope, it is all of them. Well, anything from an apt repo, not Flatpaks, etc.
I tested. Upgraded Openshot from stock to the up to date version from their PPA. Offline.
And others did the same as well, so I went to the official Neon forum , on KDE's forum to inquire.
You can see the response from Harald Sitter in the last link I posted.

If you upgrade using apt from the command line, the updates are applied the old fashioned way.

I gotta admit this is very Windows 10 like behavior. I have a desktop I only reboot when the kernel upgrades so maybe once or twice a month.

Sometimes it helps to be the squeaky wheel. Nice to see a quick and favorable response as well.
