[TYPO3-english] download fresh extension list per cli

[Marcel Remmy]

hello list,

i'm writing this question while waiting for the extension manager to
download and process the growing extension list from the ter.

the idea to have an always up-to-date extension list in cache is not
that new, but the files in typo3/mod/tools/em cannot be understood in a
few minutes. no idea how to have the cli user trigger that update
function thus preventing me from putting it into a cron job.

my goal is to have the extension list updated every 12hrs regardless of
me being logged in.

two questions appear:

1) are there security issues with that approach? (cli -> tools access !=
cli -> admin)

2) is there some way to implement it? (maybe tx_gabriel could come in
handy there)

how should a trigger like that look like?

okay i think the EM is finished ^^

waves,
Marcel
