<tongue_in_cheek reason="couldn't resist"> This seems like the opposite of why you have markers for hooks. I assume you don't have them because I don't want them. </tongue_in_cheek> The rationale makes sense -- distinguishing paludis output from hook output -- but it'd still be nice to disable it. I don't install dodgy hooks from forums, and I want the output for the ones I have installed. So, this falls into the category of "debugging information" for me, which I usually don't want until I need it. (Hence my PALUDIS_OPTIONS contains "--log-level warning", e.g., rather than the default) But, having done tech support, I realize there's no good reason for you (dev(s)) to remove it, so I'll hack it locally. (The benefit to me is outweighed by the development+support effort by you.) As an aside: I was doing some work for a former employer last weekend where my preferred machine had Gentoo that was installed long ago. I needed to install the Eclipse SDK for something, and I'm positive that installing paludis via emerge and the 52 eclipse-sdk dependencies via paludis took less time than emerge would have taken to resolve those dependencies (based on getting too impatient with emerge after fifteen minutes, and installing everything in about twenty).
