The Perl eclasses or build system already have a TEST_VERBOSE variable to switch between terse and verbose testing output. Given the number of packages using cmake for tests and the fact that half the time I can't go back at checking out the log files left behind, is it possible to make it output _more_? Also, do you really have to support both test and check, and limit at -j1? The limitation at -j1 for tests is vastly used as a failsafe, but even with autotools it's usually not required... I would expect it to be even less required for cmake. At any rate, at least verbosity would be nice to have. Thanks, Diego
src_test in cmake-utils is broken anyway (it's just a copy of portage internal one), fix (using ctest --extra-verbose) is being tested in kde overlay now. I'll make it respect TEST_VERBOSE variable.
Commited, TEST_VERBOSE will now append "--extra-verbose --output-on-failure" to ctest (which replaces make check). If --output-on-failure produces undesirable (excessive) build log, I'll remove it (typical --extra-verbose should be sufficient in most cases anyway).
