[feature request] show estimated time (ETA) based on download speed

[ghost]

This is pretty simple and handy feature, was surprised when I couldn't find any previous issues about it

The size of individual packages and total download size is already calculated in addition to download speed, is there a technical reason behind not implementing it?

like this: <package name>..........<60%>====[\ (2 MiB/s)][ETA 54s]

Looks like up to no nobody missed it :)

I will try to add something like this:

But currently the interface doesn't contain enough information virtual void dwnldProgress(const Url & uri, int value = -1, long rate = -1) /**

• Reports download progress.
• \param uri Uri of the file being downloaded.
• \param value Value of the progress in percents. -1 if unknown.
• \param rate Current download rate in B/s. -1 if unknown. */

notes:

// src/output/OutNormal.cc
void OutNormal::dwnldProgress( const Url & uri, int value, long rate, long remaining_size)
{
    // ...
  if ( rate > 0 )
  {
    outstr.rhs << " (" << ByteCount(rate) << "/s)";
    outstr.rhs << "(ETA 01m54s)" << remaining_size;
  }
}

Provided the expected files size is currently available within the libzypp media backend at all, changing the callback to ship it would require a binary incompatible change to libzypp. As we're about to rewrite the media backend, we don't like to put more effort into the old API. If zypper does not know the file size, the ETA must wait.
