I agree with this. Most packages are already doing the right thing, and I think terse logs should be the non-default option. What should we do about cases where the upstream build system makes it difficult to override the verbosity? In other words, is this a place where we should push Debian package maintainers to actually fix the upstream build system to make build logs verbose even if upstream doesn't support that as an option? I'm thinking, for example, of some of djb's public domain software, where the compiler invocation is stored in a shell script and therefore doesn't appear usefully in the build output. Or should Policy just be saying that packagers should enable the verbose option by default if there is one? -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
