None of the verbose build options documented in the wiki were working.
Having a clean non-verbose terminal output may be a pretty thing but if
it leads to lost hours of work, it's definitively _not_ an improvement.
Uhm. The thing that lead to your lost hours of work was rather clearly the
fact that you couldn't turn on the verbose output because of the incorrect
wiki page. Not getting swamped by a lot of info that is useless in 99.9%
cases _is_ an improvement.
But I can buy the make default behaviour argument, although I still disagree.
I'll at least add the make -s info to the build wiki page (make -r is worth
mentioning there as well if not there yet, after all, it's not like
plain 'make' command is a good default for LO build anyway).
It is not just a 'pretty' thing. it is also a chance to see warnings...
with a clean output they stick out clearly... otherwise you'd be hard
press to see them in that soup of 'command lines' echo.
Not only warnings, also errors. Tinderbox mails are already pretty difficult
to read as they are and anything that makes people less motivated to do more
than just glance at them is bad. Thanks for switching tinderbox to -s.
