Package: busybox-cvs-udeb Version: 0.60.99.cvs20030819 (not installed) Severity: normal Tags: patch d-i
busybox-cvs-udeb should be built with CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_STATUSBAR. Rationale: 1) It is very useful during large downloads (or on slow links) to display some kind of progress information to the user. Parts of d-i already make use of the progress information wget outputs. 2) debootstrap expects wget to output progress information, and regards the download as failed unless "100%" is ever outputted. This causes it to output erroneous warnings, as well as retry each download three times. (See bug #211111) The included patch enables this for the -udeb target, but not for -net-udeb and not for -deb. I have not done extensive checking, but it appears most places in d-i already gives -q to wget whenever it's supposed to be quiet, and pkgdetails (from base-installer) should be able to parse the progress output busybox wget prints. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux dessverre 2.4.22-1-k7 #1 Sat Sep 6 02:13:04 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
