Bug #: 118615
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: make epm more verbose
Classification: Code
Product: tools
Version: OOo 3.4 Beta
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: solenv
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Currently, epm is invoked with the -v switch in
solenv/bin/modules/installer/epmfile.pm sub call_epm
The problem is that internally epm uses a verbosity level, that redirects the
output to /dev/null when Verbosity < 2, this makes the developer clueless about
errors with the tools epm invokes (rpmbuid for building rpm packages, etc).
See http://svn.easysw.com/public/epm/tags/release-4.2/run.c line 122
/*
* Child comes here... Redirect stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null
* if !Verbosity...
*/
if (Verbosity < 2)
{
close(0);
close(1);
close(2);
open("/dev/null", O_RDWR);
dup(0);
dup(0);
}
The verbosity level is not set as an argument to -v, as in -v VERBOSITY, but is
taken as the length of the argv char. string - 1:
http://svn.easysw.com/public/epm/tags/release-4.2/epm.c line 282
case 'v' : /* Be verbose */
Verbosity += strlen(argv[i]) - 1;
break;
this means,
-v is verbosity 1
-vX is verbosity 2
-vXX is verbosity 3
and so on; it doesn't matter what chars you place after -v to increase the
verbosity.
