I am not using normal (growing) progress bar for repo setup
because I would have to update it per downloaded repo metadata
file which would be needlessly fine-grained feedback for user.

In general, I'm not a fan of adding more progress callbacks to
yuminstall.py.  We have enough of those things already.  Doesn't yum
provide us with something we can use here?

I am using what yum provides, using yum's urlgrabber callback ...

... here (setCallback is method of YumRepository).

But I have problem with what Bill suggested - busy cursor being
preferred to pulse progress bar - that's exactly the opposite
of what the bug requires. For me, the pulse bar here suggests that
something is really happening more than the busy cursor
(mainly due to non-regularity of its pulsing :), but that
may be just my and reporter's feeling. Alternatively, I could
use regular progress bar each downloaded file, but as I say in the
comment for the commit, it seems like overkill to me.
