REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not prevent applications from using the table that
is being processed, however it can prevent the xmin horizon from advancing and
thus restrict VACUUM for the whole database. This patch adds the ability to
use particular snapshot only for certain range of pages. Each time that number
of pages is processed, a new snapshot is built, which supposedly has its xmin
higher than the previous snapshot.

The data copying works as follows:

  1. Have the logical decoding system build a snapshot S0 for range R0 at
     LSN0. This snapshot sees all the data changes whose commit records have
     LSN < LSN0.

  2. Copy the pages in that range to the new relation. The changes not visible
     to the snapshot (because their transactions are still running) will
     appear in the output of the logical decoding system as soon as their
     commit records appear in WAL.

  3. Perform logical decoding of all changes we find in WAL for the table
     we're repacking, put them aside and remember that out of these we can
     only apply those that affect the range R0 in the old
     relation. (Naturally, we cannot apply ones that belong to other pages
     because it's impossible to UPDATE / DELETE a row in the new relation if
     it hasn't been copied yet.) Once the decoding is done, consider LSN1 to
     be the position of the end of the last WAL record decoded.

  4. Build a new snapshot S1 at position LSN1, i.e. one that sees all the data
     whose commit records are at WAL positions < LSN1. Use this snapshot to
     copy the range of pages R1.

  5. Perform logical decoding like in step 3, but remember, that out of this
     next set, only changes belonging to ranges R0 *and* R1 in the old table
     can be applied.

  6. etc

Note that the changes decoded above should not be applied to the new relation
until the whole relation has been copied. The point is that we need "identity
index" to apply UPDATE and DELETE statements, and bulk creation of indexes on
the already copied heap is probably better than retail insertions during the
copying.

Special attention needs to be paid to UPDATES that span page ranges. For
example, if the old tuple is in range R0, but the new tuple is in R1, and R1
hasn't been copied yet, we only DELETE the old version from the new
relation. The new version will be handled during processing of range R1. The
snapshot S1 will be based on WAL position following that UPDATE, so it'll see
the new tuple if its transaction's commit record is at WAL position lower than
the position where we built the snapshot. On the other hand, if the commit
record appears at higher position than the that of the snapshot, the
corresponding INSERT will be decoded and replayed sometime later: once the
scan of R1 started, changes of tuples belonging to it are no longer filtered
out.

Likewise, if the old tuple is in range R1 (not yet copied) but the new tuple
is in R0, we only perform INSERT on the new relation. The deletion of the old
version will either be visible to the snapshot S1 (i.e. the snapshot won't see
the old version), or replayed later.

This approach introduces one limitation though: if the USING INDEX clause is
specified, an explicit sort is always used. Index scan wouldn't work because
it does not return the tuples sorted by CTID. That way we wouldn't be able to
split the copying into ranges of pages. I'm not sure it's serious. If REPACK
runs concurrently and does not restrict VACUUM, the execution time should not
be critical.

A new GUC repack_snapshot_after can be used to set the number of pages per
snapshot. It's currently classified as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and may be replaced
by a constant after enough evaluation is done.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-05-04 09:32 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-05-04 09:32 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

Some commands that support progress reporting run sub-commands, which also
report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK builds indexes. Instead
of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, we can allow both the
"parent" command and the sub-command to report their progress at the same
time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

* [PATCH] Allow progress tracking of sub-commands.
@ 2026-06-29 11:10 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 490+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-06-29 11:10 UTC (permalink / raw)

Some commands that support progress reporting run other commands which also
need to report their progress. The typical case is that REPACK ("main"
command) runs index build (sub-command).

The current approach is to disable progress tracking when a command is running
as a sub-command of another command. However, the progress reporting can be
AM-specific, so it's not really practicable to suppress the progress reporting
of the sub-commands entirely. Even if we managed to pass a flag down to all
the relevant places, we could end up with progress reporting for the
sub-command disabled in cases it's important to the user.

Instead of disabling the progress tracking of the sub-commands, this patch
allows both the main command and the sub-command to report their progress at
the same time.

I've noticed several complaints about two commands trying to report their
progress at the same time, overwriting each other's output [1][2][3]. I posted
a prototype of an enhancement of the monitoring infrastructure that allows for
progress reporting of two commands w/o conflicts [4].

This is a new version that passes regression tests. I'll register it for the
upcoming CF.

Hi Antonin,

Thanks for suggesting enhancements to the progress reporting framework.

I have comments on the solution's approach.

/*
+ * Some commands have a sub-command, e.g. REPACK (re)builds indexes. The
+ * target can be different, e.g. when the sub-command builds an index on
+ * TOAST relation.
+ */
+ ProgressCommandType st_progress_command2;
+ Oid st_progress_command_target2;
+ int64 st_progress_param2[PGSTAT_NUM_PROGRESS_PARAM];

This approach only works for a nesting depth of 2, not for 3 or more
levels of subcommands, for instance.
I am not aware of a concrete example of such a command but I think we should
keep the design generic enough to accommodate this.

Shall we consider reporting the progress counters of a sub-command as
additional parameters
in the existing st_progress_param[] array?  A top level command can
define the progress parameters
based on the number and type of sub-commands it expects to see. This
way we can even restrict or alter the counters we would like to report
for a sub-command. This also avoids changing PgBackendStatus every
time we encounter a command requiring deeper nesting levels.

Thank you,
Rahila Syed

The typical problem occurs when REPACK performs reindexing (CREATE_INDEX). I
could only think of one case where the depth would be more than 2: an index
function (executed during the build) running another monitored command. In a
development build (with my patch applied), such a case would fire an assertion
in pgstat_progress_start_command(), while in a production build that innermost
command would only overwrite the status of the CREATE INDEX command. I don't
consider such a crazy case worth more effort.

It might be possible to make sure in some cases that parameter numbers not
used by the main command are used by the sub-command, but I think it would
make coding quite tricky. And if you wanted to be sure that there are no
collisions of parameter numbers, you'd need st_progress_param[] to be twice as
large as the maximum number of parameters per command anyway. So this approach
wouldn't help as long as you're concerned of memory consumption.

I tend to agree that (for now, at least) a nesting level of 3 is an edge
case, but I have another concern with the current approach:

@@ -33,9 +37,30 @@ pgstat_progress_start_command(ProgressCommandType cmdtype, Oid relid)

        PGSTAT_BEGIN_WRITE_ACTIVITY(beentry);

+       else
+       {
+               /* Only one level of nesting is supported. */
+               Assert(false);
+       }
        PGSTAT_END_WRITE_ACTIVITY(beentry);
 }


The comments of the two macros warn about the fact that they create a
critical section, and code within the critical section should be kept as
simple as possible because any error would be promoted to PANIC. Now
sure, Assert() doesn't matter in production builds, but still I think
there is value in getting rid of a possible error path. (And a restart
to clean up shared memory would be pretty annoying even in debug
builds.)

Assuming the start()/end() calls are properly nested (which I'd assume
they are given the structure of the if/else conditions in start()/end()
in this patch), what about the following (names are all strawmen, as
this is just a suggestion):

- group command, target and params into a new struct, let's say Progress
- track the current level of nesting in the beentry, initially 0
- track an array of Progress structs in the beentry, of MAX_NESTING size
  (2, for now)

Then ...start_command() would do something like the following:

PGSTAT_BEGIN_WRITE_ACTIVITY(beentry);
beentry->nesting++;
if beentry->nesting <= MAX_NESTING
    beentry->progress[beentry->nesting-1].command = ...
    ...
PGSTAT_END_WRITE_ACTIVITY(beentry);

...end_command() and the update routines would have to reflect this of
course, and any reader would have to be changed. Readers would have to
go through an accessor that clamps the index to [0,MAX_NESTING) and make
this a noop otherwise.

One advantage of this would be that it makes the case of an unsupported
nesting level a noop, instead of an error.

The main advantage would be that the compiler would yell if we forgot to
change a reader.

While looking into this for example, I ran into some code in
vacuumlazy.c (heap_vacuum_rel()) which writes into st_progress_param
directly:

	appendStringInfo(&buf, _("delay time: %.3f ms\n"),
					 (double) MyBEEntry->st_progress_param[PROGRESS_VACUUM_DELAY_TIME] / 1000000.0);

Purely theoretical of course, but if this was done by code which could
run both as a main command or a subcommand, this would end up writing
to the wrong spot.

Regarding the maximum level of nesting: right now we could say that
anything above 2 is not worth the bytes in MyBEEntry, and if we ever
encountered a case where it's worth reporting progress of a second
subcommand, this could be raised to 3.

What do you think, is something like this feasible? Maybe it would
address Rahila's point, while not being too much extra work / complex
code.


Regards,

Alberto

The patch only adds an if-else construct, but the other lines added are just
variants of the existing ones. So I don't think the patch increases the risk
of an error ERROR (promoted to PANIC).

If Assert() fires, then what I consider annoying is the bug that caused it,
not the restart. Restart could be a problem if I wanted the other regression
tests to complete before fixing the bug. However that doesn't make much sense
to me because all the regression tests should be run again as soon as the bug
is fixed.

Now that I compare my approach to yours, I'm not really opposed to this. The
fact that the coding is more generic doesn't imply that MAX_NESTING needs to
be very large.

> nesting level a noop, instead of an error.

I don't see an advantage exactly here: my patch does not raise ERROR, and I
think that Assert() is needed to check the nesting level even if it's
implemented in your way.

> change a reader.

Not sure I understand the difference. Can you please describe the situation
w/o this advantage, i.e. w/o the compiler errors?

This looks like reading rather than writing, but I think I understand what you
mean.

Yes, we should be careful because MAX_NESTING items of the array would be
allocated for every single backend.

Yes, I think it's worth at least a prototype. Do you want to adjust my patch
yourself or should I do?

Thanks for your review anyway!

Sorry, I could have been clearer. I was referring specifically to the
Assert(), which would be hit in the edge case you mentioned (a command
trying to report progress past the 2nd level of nesting).

I think it would be nicer if attempts at progress reporting past the
maximum supported level of nesting would be a noop rather than an error,
and in general if the command didn't need to know whether it's reporting
progress at level 1 or level 2.

What I meant to say: with your patch, existing code referring to
st_progress_command would not break, but might find itself working with
st_progress_param, when it should be st_progress_param2 (depending on
how the command is nested).

If we instead changed to an array of structs, it would be a breaking
change and we would have to fix all the callers.

Please go on, I was just trying to help as a reviewer. Looking forward
to the second version then :)
