Description

This operation is slow (takes several seconds) and is carried out every time the tool runs. This should be cached locally with either a command to flush the cache, or an explicit update command to download a new copy of the metadata (like equo update downloads new copies of the repo databases only on request).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement local caching of the metadata.db file to avoid repeated slow downloads. Add a command to flush the cache or an explicit update command to trigger a new download.
