However, a lot of people prefer to see them when needed, not always; this perception could be popularized by Linux kernel build being quite by default, OpeWRT, etc. Our own Uses/cmake.mk defines CMAKE_VERBOSE for patch/package builds only. On the other hand, with pkg(8) and binary packages becoming widely adopted, perhaps we can assume that building from the ports is expert mode and thus --enable-verbose-build/CMAKE_VERBOSE=yes/etc. should be rightful default. I was trying to preserve existing defaults, yet not pessimize cluster logs usefullness. I think if we could have consensus among ports folks that we always prefer verbose logs, I'm all for removing the checks and just always pass it. In fact, this will make quite a few ports less cluttered. ./danfe
