[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 0/6] small, overall install progress improvements

[Christoph Heiss]

This series tries to improve upon some small things around the
installation progress reporting, esp. in the auto-installer, as well as
some small fixes & code-deduplication.

Christoph Heiss (6):
  test: ui2-stdio: fix multi-process testing
  auto, tui: move low-level installer message struct to common crate
  auto: log non-json low-level messages into separate file
  low-level: stdio: fix: make progress text properly optional
  low-level: add proper message to 100% progress ratio update
  auto: avoid printing unnecessary progress update lines

[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 1/6] test: ui2-stdio: fix multi-process testing

[Christoph Heiss]

Previously, if something failed in the child, the overall test would
still be successful and exit with `0`.

[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 4/6] low-level: stdio: fix: make progress text properly optional

[Christoph Heiss]

.. such that receivers can differentiate between these two cases more
clearly.

Sometimes, the `progress` sub does not get passed a text (on purpose!),
just updating the progress ratio. This would cause log messages to be
written out which could indicate missing text and look rather weird.

[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 6/6] auto: avoid printing unnecessary progress update lines

[Christoph Heiss]

In case the progress message did not contain any text and the percentage
did not change, don't print another (useless) line.

Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH installer 0/6] small, overall install progress improvements

[Christoph Heiss]

Ping, still applies cleanly to current master as of today (23-07-2024).

Did a quick test round of Auto/GUI/TUI too, just to confirm everything.

applied this one, thanks!

most of the remaining patches need some rebasing or are ordered such, that
I'm not sure if I can simply apply them  without the previous one without
an in-depth look, but as some rebasing is required anyway I'm just go for
the lazy^W efficient variant and skip looking into that ;P
