This is hrev50837.
When de/activating a repo, the Repositories prefs could check if
HaikuDepot is running and send it a message to "Refresh repositories".
I was pondering if it should be done every time a repo is de/activated or
only once when closing the prefs. Since refreshing repos can take a while,
it may be bad if those refresh messages pile up at HaikuDepot. Though I
guess HaikuDepot could be made smarter to handle that case
efficiently.[[BR]]
OTOH, it might be nice to have HaikuDepot open, searching for some app,
and activating a repo only temporarily to see if the app is in that repo.
Then I don't want to have to close the prefs to see the list in HaikuDepot
updated.
