emerge -Cq is much more useful for everyday use. The current behaviour (every file listed on-screen) seems much more suited to verbose mode. I can wrap this ofc, but it seems silly to have to use a wrapper/ alias for it. Reproducible: Always
I'd like to do it because the merge/unmerge output does tend to flood the terminal quite often. Maybe we can integrate --verbose into the portage_util.writemsg() noiselevel. Otherwise, we'd have to pass that information down some other way.
This is fixed in svn r11709.
This is fixed in 2.2_rc13.
