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). --markc --- /usr/bin/makepkg.orig 2008-02-21 01:52:39.000000000 +1000 +++ /usr/bin/makepkg 2008-02-21 02:04:31.000000000 +1000 @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ SOURCEONLY=0 IGNOREARCH=0 HOLDVER=0 +QUIET=0 # Forces the pkgver of the current PKGBUILD.
