While running the up2date agent over a serial console, the frequency of output results in operations taking substantially longer than needed due to the limited speed of the serial line. Please limit the update of % done strings to once per second.
This should be fixed in the updates for 7.0 and the 7.1 versions. The new version doesnt use "xx%", but a hash instead. Should be better for the 9 people that use serial consoles.
no, the updates still draw too frequently.
