Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
This is a pretty simple user-interface suggestion. As I sit here waiting for DP to finishing upgrading, I have no idea how man packages are left. Windows, OSX, etc always have "progress bars", but these are typically in units of time and so could not be implemented in DP. However, a status of the number of packages would be VERY useful. For example,
---> Cleaning libgnomecanvas ---> Finished package 27 of 47 ---> Fetching libgnome
Perhaps, even at the beginning of doing an upgrade, give a message:
"47 packages to be upgraded. Continue (Y/N)?"
I can get the information of which packages are going to be updated with "port outdated", so this is just a matter of displaying the information.
Thanks,
Matt

port(1) is intentionally non-interactive, but MacPorts doesn't have to provide only one interface.

Any update on this one in the light of MacPorts recent overhaul??

Replying to jmroot:

Ok this has changed; now MacPorts is interactive... This might be a topic for a separate bug, but on the topic of interactivity, I'm thinking that one thing that could improve it would be to add a default timeout value for all interactive prompts? For Fink it's 60 seconds, IIRC
Another addition... at the end you can add:
Sucessfully upgraded 42 packages. 5 had errors.
