>From Barry in bug 1272313: ------------ The tricky part is that we won't know how many steps are involved ahead of time. For example, let's say we have three of the four keys already when we start the check. The first thing we do is download the blacklist, and if one of the three keys is now on the blacklist, we'll have an extra step to download a replacement. Also, it's possible that once we've downloaded the first key, it might make subsequent key checks fail validation.
There's an upper limit to the number of things we have to download during the check though, so we could just emit something like: step 1 of 7 step 2 of 7 (steps 3-5 can be skipped so...) step 6 of 7 step 7 of 7 It might make the display a bit jumpy, but it would be feasible without much work. For backward compatibility we'd have to add new dbus signals for these progress steps. ------------ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276061 Title: Progress of checking for updates is indeterminate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-image/+bug/1276061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
