I run a lot of commands from the command line.  Many of the graphical
applications such as gedit use glib.  I get a ton of spam on the
terminal when I run them that look like:

(gedit:5700): Gtk-WARNING **:  ...

I've written a patch to allow the user to skip these messages if desired.

What you do is

  patch -Np2  ../glib.patch
  Continue with regular glib build/install

This patch should change nothing unless the environment variable
GLIB_LOG_LEVEL is set.  The values are numeric:

0  Emergency
1  Alert
2  Critical
3  Error
4  Warning
5  Notice
6  Info
7  Debug

So if you want to disable messages at the Warning level or above, you use:

export GLIB_LOG_LEVEL=4

I'm asking for feedback to see if this is worth putting in BLFS or
perhaps offering it upstream.

Feedback welcome.

Sounds nice, yet to try it, but will tonight. Gnome devs are pretty receptive to patches...in git format-patch -1. So fork, change, add, commit, diff, submit bug. Make your commit message clear and concise and they will just use it verbatim. They mirror to github, https://github.com/gnome/glib so easy enough to do the repo work there, but still must be on the main bug tracker (not github).
