What's the difference in output format between --quiet, and the output one gets with parallel portage jobs (not just MAKEOPTS but emerge-jobs, too) turned on (my default these days)? If it's the same as with parallel emerge-jobs, yeah, quiet emerges by default makes sense to me. But please do at least einfo the change, and what to do to get back to non-quiet by default if desired. Someone mentioned a news item. I'm not sure it warrants that, but certainly an einfo, and if a news item will prevent needless bugs and is thought to be worth the required bureaucracy, I've no problem with it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
