I think this is an excellent question. The lack of knowledge about
what is happening during an update is a major flaw in the new system.
I'd much prefer output like that of yum, where I can see what packages
are being installed and a real time view of what is happening during
the update.
The design of pkg(5) is very different from yum. At the point of
installation, it doesn't install individual packages; it performs the
collective set of actions calculated during plan creation.
There is an open RFE to improve the verbosity --verbose so that more
details are exposed, but just remember that information is going to be
exposed differently than other systems because a different approach was
taken here.
OK, understood. I'm not that familiar with the design of pkg but I
don't care about the underlying details as much as I care about having a
way to see what was changed when I do a package or image update. The
RFE for having more verbosity sounds like a good step forward (although
I admit I don't know the details of it). Reverting back to a previous
boot environment isn't always a timely fix in my situation, especially
when most stuff in the new BE works and I want to continue using the new
BE and simply fix the pieces in the new BE that are broken.
