Hi all,
Apparently, the 'quiet' option excludes 'verbose' only because of this
arrangement:
sub log_info { print @_ unless shift()->quiet }
sub log_verbose { shift()->log_info(@_) if $_[0]->verbose }
So this implies 'quiet overrides verbose', but the two are never
explicitly linked ala "sub verbose { ... return if $self->quiet; ...}".
That is, referencing $self->verbose anywhere outside of log_verbose() is
likely to "do the wrong thing".
Example: I notice that $self->verbose appears in creating the tar -v
option of make_tarball(). This means you'll get noise from tar even if
$self->quiet.
Any objections to explicitly linking them?
