Description
I'm trying to install texlive-fonts-extra, which has 61748 files in its destroot/ folder. port -d install texlive-fonts-extra appears hang - no messages for several minutes and the CPU usage keeps high at around ~98%.
I found that the installation process is running the loop at https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/8a67087e2194acf3d0037097b0cd7f1e5477e401/src/port1.0/portinstall.tcl#L416. If the loop is inevitable, how about adding some messages saying that the port process is busy doing something? It will improve the user experience greatly.
/cc the author of the aforementioned loop.
