So that provides me a nice progress counter, and I only look at the contents of the console if that's not enough. Cheers, Wol

From the viewpoint of this grumpy old guy watching a bunch of servers doing their weekly update dance, the "Completed" line is much more interesting than the "Installing", which most of the time only indicates that the load is switching from CPU to disk I/O. So when will the "Installing" lines go away for good? s. -- Ever wondered how fence fights between pensioners begin?

[gentoo-user] Portage 'Completed (m of n)' messages
Hello list, What does the panel think of these new status messages from portage (~amd64)? At first I thought "that's useful", but after a while I concluded that it just adds to the clutter on the screen and actually impedes my ability to follow progress. Perhaps I'm just being a Grumpy Old Man (tm). -- Regards, Peter.
