Is there a way to tell yum NOT to use its progress bar when scanning
repositories for new / obsolete packages?

I am connecting to a remote server via ssh over a *slow* dial-up
connection and when I run yum on the remote server it often needs to
update its repository database and uses a very I/O intensive progress
bar. I'd like to have yum not use this sort of progress bar.

yum xxxxx >/dev/null

(Ideally you will only see errors.)

I want to see *some* progress and some of the time yum asks "Is this
OK? [Y/N]" questions. It is only the progress bars when it is updating
the repository database that are a problem, since they are too heavy
with terminal I/O.

I have no experience with python, but you might look at
/usr/share/yum-cli/progress_meter.py.

Perhaps if you changed the update_period to something larger than
..3 seconds.

Looks like you need to compile it to a .pyc file.
