when running eupdatedb (from esearch package), the output is cluttered.
I've made a patch to allow a --quiet switch, which outputs only the summary of
eupdatedb.

Reproducible: Always

Hi,

Thanks for the bugreport. Please try out the newest (unstable) esearch 0.5.2.
It already has a -n/--nocolor switch, but I'll add a -q/--quiet as you suggested.

latest is 0.5.1, as of my latest emerge sync.
But as it seems from the code, the "verbose" flag scratches my itch, since
It summerize the indexing and doesn't use backspaces (which was the factor
that made the cluttering - they are visable when piped/used in cron, and
I'd get a daily mail of hundreds of lines).

feel free to close this report, if you want...

Thanks,
Eldad

closing now as it was already fixed, I'll mark 0.5 stable in a week or so.
