I think all info messages should just be passed to front-end and it is front-end's job how and when to show them. So there should be speciall function for use in .install files instead of current echo stuff. As for indicating some progress for user: when there is some lengthy operation in .install it should be prefixed and postfixed with calls to special functions so user will see a message from front end like "Generating the initial ramdisk... Please wait." and then "Done" (or green checkmark in GUI :-D ).
you can do an EVENT(trans, PM_TRANS_EVT_SCRIPTLET_START, "Generating the initial ramdisk", NULL); then an EVENT(trans, PM_TRANS_EVT_SCRIPTLET_DONE, NULL, NULL); but when do you call them? a possible solution: the scriptlet is executed via popen() then you could parse the output: if it is something like "task... " then you could call PM_TRANS_EVT_SCRIPTLET_START and when it is "done." then PM_TRANS_EVT_SCRIPTLET_DONE udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
