Maybe someone will want to study how installation/deployment techniques had been changing over the years in open source, who knows? Our build logs for some 25K+ ports can give plenty of interesting data bits. And making them more uniform and clear, once I think about it, can help not just debugging. :) > In the end nobody care about the output as long everything build/package > is fine. Package users won't see any of them anyway, of course. I'm mainly concerned with traditional ports usage (that is, "cd /usr/ports/cat/foo && make install clean") which I still do a lot. It is nice to see what is being installed, even if everything is fine: then I don't have to read pkg-plist to see "now, where I do start with this thing?" for example. Doesn't happen often, yes, but then again: we're not actually winning anything by muting them. ./danfe
