[Karla]

Can the system update displayed on GUI similar to pacman update ?
The output more readable.

What's pacman? I mean besides an 80's arcade game ...

[meyergru]

It is the package manager for Arch Linux.

[Karla]

I mean the following:

1. Download rate
2. Size of the packages
3. ETA
4. Better download progress

Pacman is the package manager of Arch Linux.

Welcome to the wonderful world of BSD, Karla!

As much as we all love the colorful, fast CLI magic of pacman(well I prefer apt/dpkg), expecting an enterprise-grade firewall GUI to behave like an Arch Linux terminal is a bit like walking into a modern car cockpit and asking for the gear shift of an 80s truck.

OPNsense keeps things a bit more structured under the hood for a reason. Hang in there... you'll get used to the Web-GUI life soon enough!

But if you want you can use my monit update howto and send yourself some nice ASCII Art via Mail ;D

I am using Arch based Linux for 10 years now.
Before Suse and others.

A screenshot sometimes says a thousand words! ;)

As someone who has used :
- FreeBSD pkg and cvsup+/usr/ports/ in the past.
- Many releases of RaspBian a.k.a. Raspberry Pi OS.
- Regular Debian.
- Ubuntu/Kubuntu/etc.
- Some .rpm based distros like Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS_{(or whatever they call it these days...)}

I really don't see the issue with the OPNsense webGUI Update/Upgrade procedure being as it is right now ?!
_{(Except for the fact that it shouldn't do everything on it's own and should stop after each step has been completed, but that's not a big deal and should not give you any issues if you read the Release Changes carefully each time!)}

But that does not mean it can't/shouldn't be improved if the team feels like doing so ofcourse :)
