Within the fetch phase, we could hook into curl's progress meter, if the port fetches standard distfiles. If the port fetches from a VCS, we would have to see if the particular VCS used offers progress information; many don't. Within the build phase, for most ports, a proper progress bar that shows you how far along the build process you are is impossible because most build systems do not provide that information. cmake is the one exception I know of, which does print percent completed information in its output which could be turned into a progress bar. For all other build systems, all we could do is an indeterminate progress bar which shows that something is happening but would give no indication of how far along the process is. cmake might print progress information for the destroot phase as well. For all other phases, I don't think we have any progress information available. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/15939#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
