Adds a new
forceCache
option to theUpdater
class which can be used to force the loading of cached metadata files in scenarios where all of the metadata is in a non-expired state. This can help to limit fetches against the remote TUF repository in situations where it's desirable to minimize network access.When
forceCache
is set totrue
theUpdater
will load all metadata from the local cache and only attempt an update from the remote repository if some of the metadata is missing/corrupt/expired.
