I just checked with wireshark and it doesn't seem as if leocad would create any
network activity on startup.
But the leocad Debian package also carries the following patch:
--- leocad-git-clone.orig/qt/qtmain.cpp 2013-10-22 13:08:48.000000000 +0200
+++ leocad-git-clone/qt/qtmain.cpp 2013-10-22 15:02:02.000000000 +0200
@@ -169,8 +169,6 @@
gMainWindow->UpdateRecentFiles();
w.show();
- lcDoInitialUpdateCheck();
-
int execReturn = app.exec();
delete gMainWindow;
So I guess this is the bit that disables the check for updates at startup?
cheers, josch
