Subject: [bitbake-devel] knotty: Allow displaying of status when no tasks are
	active
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:06:48 -0000
From: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
X-Patchwork-Id: 37377
Message-Id: <1348783608.15753.31.camel@ted>
To: bitbake-devel <bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org>

The console can appear to hang when no tasks are executing even if bitbake
is iterating through a large number of tasks behind the scenes.

This patch tweaks the footer code to display a status even when no tasks
are active to give the user better feedback about what is happening.
