[Mingw-users] mingw-get-0.3-alpha-1: update operation appears to hang

[Keith M. <kei...@us...>]

Having implemented the --verbose option, and made default progress
reporting significantly quieter, I've noticed a disconcerting side
effect when performing a `mingw-get update' -- the `Load catalogue'
messages, which had previously confirmed that the operation was
progressing normally are no longer displayed at default verbosity
setting.  This may create a false impression that the process has
hung, possibly for several minutes.

To avoid this, I recommend running `mingw-get update -vv' when
performing a catalogue update with this particular version of mingw-get;
this will cause the `Load catalogue' messages to be displayed, as with
previous versions.

Future versions of mingw-get will not exhibit this failing; I've
committed a patch to CVS, to ensure that progress reports for the update
operation are displayed, regardless of verbosity setting.
