Uh, now. PLEASE not. That what the Linux kernel does and I *hate* it. Most of "normal" build systems *do* show the commands they run and they *should* for transparency. > IMHO, this verbosity thing is very important.

(I presume you mean Linux building = Linux kernel building) What Linux does is the first time I change if I compile a Linux kernel by hand. I also maintain some stuff in Debian which does that and where I patches verbosity in again. I am at all for removing *unneeded* verbosity (deliver, "Executing shell macro", (maybe) tar xf*v*z but some info the compiler line showa *are* important (gcc-X.Y if overriden, defines getting properly passed etc). So *if* you want to decide to do what the kernel does, pleas discouple that with the rest. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
