Hi, I've created a simple patch for ebuild.sh to implement a nice progressbar for the unpack operation. It's sometimes very confusing to just wait and see nothing move. This will make the emerge operation just sweet... :-) The used util is "bar" which has no other dependency (and is stable) so just adding it as a portage depend would ensure this will work for everyone and will bring no additional problems... If you decide you don't want such a fancy thing in portage by default, please leave there an option so users can plug it in somehow. A new statement in make.conf would be fine... Thanks...

Ahem. Not everyone uses x86...
Shame on me! I've found two typos. The two unintentional occurences of ${X} (capital) should be like ${x}... :-(
Ahhh, correct, I forgot about that... Anyway, the bar should be AFAIK platform independant...
Created attachment 25440 [details] porgressbar.jpg ...don't kill me. I just couldn't resist so here's a screenshot... :-)
This can be implemented locally via a /etc/portage/bashrc, as such should stay out of portage...
