"Time to close that bugzilla... Discussed many times on upstream list (see archives), in bugzillas of other linux distributions (e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/64067 http://www.linux-archive.org/archlinux-development/167447-add-g-option-cp-mv.html ) If you really want to have this behaviour, you could use some shell script alias to get this. One of such scripts is available at http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/ . Closing WONTFIX."

There are other ways of getting it (see Ondrej's comment above. ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- a progress bar for 'cp' and 'mv' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
