Re: [pacman-dev] Multiple progress bars not compatible with dumb terminals

On less capable terminals, pacman should probably display only one active progress bar simultaneously.

An example of such a terminal is Emacs's M-x shell ($TERM == "dumb"). It can't display the additional "total" properly because it doesn't implement cursor movement.

For such terminals you can use "--noprogressbar", or set the equivalent in pacman.conf. Allan
