Comment(by cjb):

 Replying to [comment:4 mikus]:
 > that also took almost an hour - because it repeated FETCHING every
 Activity binary all over again (before it would even try the install).

 It is not correct that we fetch all activity binaries before install, at
 any time.  We fetch small pieces of metadata about activities from a wiki
 page.  It sounds like you have a local networking problem.

 > When the user specifies 'install so-and-so', the CLI 'sugar-control-
 panel' function should fetch only that indicated Activity.  The user wants
 it updated, and is unlikely to change his mind if it turns out that a
 newer-yet version has become available in the last hour.

 Patches welcome.
