Imho, this ones should not be shown to user. With my patch, such messages could be changed from "einfo" to "veinfo", which looks the same but only display in verbose output/log. Since they are mostly in a few eclasses, that would not be to much work to make this cleanup. > of course this is not fine if you have a package that failed to > emerge, but caching the last X lines and printing it in case of > an error would be a nice workaround What I do is that if emerge is in quiet mode, and the user don't uses PORT_LOGDIR, then there will still be a verbose log in ${T}. And "die" messages point to this log. (see the 2nd screenshot in the bug report) > -v could be used to get the old-fashioned style. With my patch, default behavior is still to be verbose, but if "quiet" is in feature flags (or on command line options). And yes, in all case, -v forces verbose mode. -- TGL. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
