Description Robin Sheat 2011-08-15 05:17:20 UTC
The way the Perl version of build-git-snapshot works, it doesn't output the build process as its going.

This makes it harder to see what's happening, or why it broke.

Great patch! But it does produce a lot of output, could it be an idea to "hide" it behind a --verbose or --debug option?

As Robin said, this makes debugging the building of packages much easier. Signing off!

I don't want to hide it because if you're building packages, this is the kind of thing you should be seeing. Also, it beats waiting for 5 minutes with no output. As this is a developer tool, I think it's OK to show all the build output.
Comment 5 Magnus Enger 2011-09-02 11:47:51 UTC
Hm, seems I forgot to change the Patch Status when I looked at this in the middle of August... And I agree with Robin now, all that output shouldn't hurt.
