Well, I'm off to disable another default being pushed out. I just
wonder if make.conf is going to end up the largest file portage uses one
day. :/ Every time something changes, I go add another setting to
make.conf.
As I type:
emerge should show build output by default (unless --quiet-build=y) 42%
So far that's the winner. As I posted earlier, people expect things to
work like they have always worked. I say that as a user.
