I don't see any added value in printing the message multiple times.
The value is mostly avoiding the impression of things being hung.
If I see a message which says "Waiting for exclusive lock ..." and nothing
more, I assume that the software is still waiting for an exclusive lock.
Except when that suffer is interacting with rpm. Then you might think it
is wedged in a FUTEX_WAIT for the rest of eternity.
Isn't that "still waiting for an exclusive lock"?
[Is suffer the same as software? Or is it specific to software built on
top of rpm libraries? :-)]
If the software is wedged for eternity, is a new message every two seconds
any better than one message and then nothing more? I would rather have the
latter...
