Synopsis: [patch] cp(1) show percentage complete

State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended
State-Changed-By: arundel
State-Changed-When: Thu Oct 21 18:37:19 UTC 2010
State-Changed-Why: 
no src committer has taken any interest in this patch. there are probably a
number of reasons for that:

- your patch adds new functionality to a very basic UNIX application. in general
  those patches will almost never make it into the src tree, because people tend
  to consider those applications to be "perfectly designed without any need for
  additions"
- the funcionality of your patch can be reproduced by hitting ^T during copying
- alternatives to the base cp with the same or more advanced features than your
  patch exist in the ports collection

for those reasons i'm suspending this PR. thanks a lot for your work and sorry
for not attracting any committer. i highly recommend you get a few opinions from
committers on freebsd-hackers@ or freebsd-current@ next time before implementing
new features into long existing applications.

cheers.
alex
