By nonessential, I hope you don't mean thrown out altogether. Some install script output is conditional, because it isn't relevant to everyone that installs the package.

Without thinking too much about it, I guess it might be helpful to have some sort of standard echo replacement function, that could still be called conditionally. The way the scripts are now, however, makes for rather complicated separation of message output and actual activity such as running gconftool, etc. All output could be redirected to a non-stdout buffer, I guess, and then printed after pacman has finished its messages...

See "[pacman-dev] add message() function call for use in *.install/.PKGINFO files" thread (2006-05-25 - 2006-07-07) I thought this was merged in paman3 already. It should be just beautyfied a bit. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
