[debhelper-devel] [RFC 0/4] improve verbosity/silentness of debhelper

[Bernhard R. Link]

* Bernhard R. Link <brlink at debian.org> [141229 14:11]:
> This series tries to improve the verbosity and silentness of debhelper a
> bit.
> 
> The old rule of debhelper programs only outputting errors by default was
> fine for dh_* commands but starting with the dh_auto_* commands it hides
> information previously shown that can be quite annoying to miss and dh(1)
> itself already ignored the rule by outputting which dh_* commands to run.
> 
> This series adds a DH_QUIET environment variable to print less stuff,
> then switches to display upstream build system commands to be run without
> this (so one can see in the buildd log which options configure or make got
> passed) and finally disables silent rules by default, too (So we can close
> #551463 and #639168 but still have a way for people to opt out locally).
> 
> Targeting jessie+1.
> 
> Open question: why does Buildsystem look at the environment variables
> directly instead of using %dh?

As noone said anything: Anyone any objections to pushing that to master?
