Well, I'm not asking to slavishly copy apt. I'm asking to add a feature that I've found to be very useful when using apt. I'm sure Seth is smart enough one can use the a* word without ending in /dev/null > You need to address > the concern raised by the developer directly.

On a normal broadband link there is not much in yum to show things are actually progressing and not stuck on a mirror. Granted, some people might prefer a lighter reporting. But surely putting this kind of info in debug is a bit of overkill, don't you think ? More than cryptic messages users hate stuff that seems stuck doing nothing. All the daunting apt reporting at least shows magic is currently happening. (and a lot of people do know how to interpret it btw) Cheers, -- Nicolas Mailhot
