Re: [pacman-dev] Suggestion for a QUIET arg to makepkg

When it comes to using makepkg from a wrapper script, to build a series of packages, it would be good if there was an option to send logging to a file and not to STDOUT at the same time. This is just a suggestion and an example of one place where I need to patch my local makepkg.

Perhaps this could be generalised via a VERBOSE arg instead where, for instance, VERBOSE=9 could be noisier than VERBOSE=1 (rather than just an on/off toggle).

Can't you simply do : makepkg -L &> /dev/null ? But I feel like I am probably missing something :)
