They are still noisy with current git Automake, even with silent-rules mode enabled. However, we have improved installation to install several files at once, so there will be fewer commands output (with albeit longer lines though). At this time, I don't think silent-rules should impact installation and uninstallation output. I have no good reason for this choice. However, I also wouldn't know what to output in a less verbose mode in a way that would tell the user what happened, but be strictly less verbose; also, as a cheap technical reason it would require more than the already implemented framework. Maybe something like prefixing the rules with echo installing to $(bindir) exec >/dev/null but that also seems quite ugly to me for more than one reason. (Yes, I am mixing up abstract discussion of a useful feature with specific limitations of current code and used tools above ... ) Cheers, Ralf
