From d1f327960793ffdf5d83538ed636da0181f906a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kuhn Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2021 17:54:59 +0200 Subject: installer: Support showing status information in terminal title (#16259) Installing packages with a lot of dependencies does not have an easy way of judging the current progress (apart from running `spack spec -I pkg` in another terminal). This change allows Spack to update the terminal's title with status information, including its current progress as well as information about the current and total number of packages. --- etc/spack/defaults/config.yaml | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'etc') diff --git a/etc/spack/defaults/config.yaml b/etc/spack/defaults/config.yaml index 88a19d3222..3487d33162 100644 --- a/etc/spack/defaults/config.yaml +++ b/etc/spack/defaults/config.yaml @@ -134,7 +134,7 @@ config: # enabling locks. locks: true - # The default url fetch method to use. + # The default url fetch method to use. # If set to 'curl', Spack will require curl on the user's system # If set to 'urllib', Spack will use python built-in libs to fetch url_fetch_method: urllib @@ -190,3 +190,8 @@ config: # Set to 'false' to allow installation on filesystems that doesn't allow setgid bit # manipulation by unprivileged user (e.g. AFS) allow_sgid: true + + # Whether to set the terminal title to display status information during + # building and installing packages.
