Description Sascha Silbe 2004-08-26 09:31:40 UTC

The "emerge depclean" countdown and warning are useful in some cases, but also annoying in other cases (frequent usage, automatically maintained systems).
Regarding the countdown, I suggest using a "DEPCLEAN_DELAY" variable in make.conf similar to "CLEAN_DELAY" for "emerge clean", shutting it off entirely (so it does not produce any output) with "DEPCLEAN_DELAY=0".
The warning (and IMO even the statistics) should be suppressed by the "--quiet" option to emerge.

The patch removes depclean warning when --quiet is used. Countdown can be
removed by setting EMERGE_WARNING_DELAY to 0.
