This was also covered in the other thread. The new default does not hide the verbose output of emerge (the command to which -v is applied) it hides the autotools and compiler output, which generally does nothing but hide the useful information amongst tens of megabytes of blurred, rapidly scrolling, uninformative text.=20 That you have to explicitly enable this output is consistent with also having to enable verbose output on emerge and most other programs. --=20 Neil Bothwick "Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable." - Mark Twain --Sig_/qB0uiRgurByZMzT=4Hjbt2_ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk7gDwQACgkQum4al0N1GQPy8wCgjbnLK+dYuUduxFsOrpNX/UZv ho8An1PfQdDV85Pph4iTSH3kkVXnXfAY =N2K3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/qB0uiRgurByZMzT=4Hjbt2_--
