Paolo et-al,
I'd like to suggest that the messages shown below (for example) be emitted via the stderr output channel on Unix if possible.. I'm using gst in scripts and don't want to have to write code to toss out the Recompiling messages as part of the script if I can help it.. I realize that they're present to aid in debugging/troubleshooting but without any way to keep them quiet it makes my scripts difficult to understand to those that don't know about or care about what the script is written in (e.g. GST, Perl, Python, etc).. Another option would be to add a command line option to quiet them up or hook them to an existing flag that is present perhaps.. Are there any others that might find this sort of change beneficial? I realize I could go in and modify the kernel to not emit the messages but that seems a little extreme.. Anyway, just thought I'd ask.. P.S. If I rebuild the kernel would these messages go away or are these always present when loading packages that are not normally part of the kernel..? As for examples, this is what my script looks like when it runs and outputs one line consisting of 'foo!' after loading the #XML package : yadda:~/my-current-path [1620]> ~/scripts/foo.st Recompiling classes...
