Title:         progress bar slows down installation on serial console
Ticket ID:     #367
Ticket URL:    http://bugs.pld.org.pl/?bug=367
Package:       poldek-0.17.8-2
Distribution:  PLD-Ra.main
Category:      improve request
Current state: opened
Text:

Progress bar that shows up when installing package with -v option (poldek -Uv ...), can extremely slow down installation process when using serial console. That's because of very frequent display updates - at 9600bps installation of ,,dev'' package takes about 5 minutes.
Possible solutions are:
- better progress bar display engine in poldek
- installer running poldek without -v option where running on serial console
- simplified progressbar (for example like .....[10%].....[20%]....), maybe triggered by some option.
