OTOH, there is a different, and IMHO orthogonal component: even with
--silent, libtool outputs a little bit of information (which I believe
your patch works on as well). The question is: Should we add another
option to be completely silent, or maybe just make --silent be
completely silent? What do you/the others think?
..., exactly, this is what my patch was meant to be about:
Complete silence. It's really useful when you try and find
errors in third party software you are not too much familiar
with.
I would probably be inclined to accept a patch enforcing complete silence.
Nobody has stepped up to argue whether or not a new switch should be
necessary for this, I am pretty indifferent to this myself.
But anyway, it's not that important. As I have seen in the
meantime, my patch still does not reach "complete" silence
(regarding install and uninstall). And you are absolutely right:
there are ways to enforce silence in any respect...
Sure.
Cheers,
Ralf
