Bug Description

The openSUSE build service has a completely interactive buildlog, soyuz should grow such a thing too.
While the build is still in progress you have immediate access to the complete buildlog produced at the time (with automatic update pushing and whatnot). This would be extremely nice to have. For example when one is doing a build that ought to change build dependencies and there is the possibility of implicitly pulled in stuff, it would be handy if one could check up on the actually installed dependencies and if necessary start investigation/fixing right after reading that something is wrong, rather than having to wait for the build to either fail or finish.

In the mean time a bigger display field for the buildlog would be highly appreciated :)
As cmake builds have percent indication of completion one could theoretically check up on how far along a build is. However most of the time a warning in some header will spew all over the output so that the tiny buildlog display only displays the warning and one has to refresh ever so often and be in luck to actually hit a time when it displays the actual percentage.
Therefore increasing the height of the buildlog display by at least 100% would be very awesome.

Thanks for considering.
