It's enabled because it makes build logs more useful for debugging. This has already been discussed extensively on the gentoo-dev mailing list and elsewhere. _That_ is the proper venue to bring this discussion, while _this_ is a bug tracker and not intended to be used as a discussion forum. |
I don't know why eclasses are verbose by default e.g. in qt4-build.eclass:366 local conf="-(...) -verbose" in cmake-utils.eclass:143 : ${CMAKE_VERBOSE:=ON} (it was discussed in Bug 306207 and cmake shouldn't be verbose) I'm not a gentoo developer (yet?) and I don't need to see whole path which is running. It is more readable for user to see qmake config insted of what command is run. I think the option "--verbose" in emerge (or other pkg manager) or some variable in make.conf should tell eclasses if I want to see verbose or not. Reproducible: Always
