[bitbake-devel] New progress meters

[Gary Thomas]

I quite like the new progress meters, but they seem to not be very
accurate.  I was just rebuilding webkitgtk and got this:

0: webkitgtk-2.12.3-r0 do_compile (pid 30494)  96% |#######################################  | ETA:  0:02:58

Sadly, it sat there, waffling between 02:58 and 03:44 for about
10 minutes...

* How is this [estimate] calculated?
* Should I be concerned when it's not accurate (or even moving)?

n.b. I wasn't sure the best place for this question, the bitbake
list, generic Yocto or OE-core.  Feel free to redirect as needed.
