Removing --verbose from PROVE_FLAGS cuts the check-world output from about 9.4k lines to 3.8k, i.e. ~60%. Doing 'make -s' cuts it by another 1.3k lines. Another thing I noticed is that there's a bunch of 'diag' calls in the tests scripts (particularly ssl/t/001_ssltests.pl and recovery/t/001_stream_rep.pl) that should probably be 'note's instead, so they don't pollute STDERR in non-verbose mode. 'diag' should only be used to output extra diagnostics in the case of test failures, 'note' is for test progress/status updates. - ilmari -- - Twitter seems more influential [than blogs] in the 'gets reported in the mainstream press' sense at least. - Matt McLeod - That'd be because the content of a tweet is easier to condense down to a mainstream media article. - Calle Dybedahl -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
