# - save the remote texlive.tlpdb and its md5-hash, and before downloading
# check only for the md5-hash of the remote tlpdb, and re-download only
# if necessary
+# implementation ideas:
+# . save the tlpdb in ROOT/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.<MD5SUM>
+# where <MD5SUM> is md5hash of the location argument
+# this way more than one location texlive.tlpdb can be saved
+# . if tlmgr makes something which needs the remote database it
+# tries to get the md5hash of the remote database
+# (.../texlive.tlpdb.md5)
+# -> if this does not work, assume that we are offline (tell the user)
+# then use the local copy of the database
+# -> if that worked, check the md5sum with the md5sum of the local
+# copy of the remote tlpdb
+# -> if they are equal continue with that
+# -> if they are unequal try to download the new one
# - backup extensions (email from Manuel)
# tlmgr option backupdir /some/fix/location
# with default TLROOT/backups as default
