[Cupt-devel] Bug#690914: cupt: during downloads please show ETA of '.delta' file, rather than '.deb' file.

[A. Costa]

Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.9
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

During an upgrade via a dialup connection:

    Get:3 debdelta:http://debdeltas.debian.net/debian-deltas  xulrunner-10.0 10.0.9esr-1 [9688KiB]
    40% [3 xulrunner-10.0 2431KiB/9688KiB 25%] | 3258B/s | ETA: 21m4s

But 9688K is the size of the compressed '.deb' file:

    # proof: get size of version being upgraded.
    % wc -c /var/cache/apt/archives/xulrunner-10.0_10.0*               
    9917448 /var/cache/apt/archives/xulrunner-10.0_10.0.7esr-2_i386.deb

Since it's a '.delta' file that's being downloaded, the above ETA is 
incorrect.  The correct ETA might be anywhere from 1%-70% of that.


HTH...
