Replying to [comment:14 jdemeyer]:
> Now that I think about this again, it is sometimes useful to have the
full `install.log` like we have now, for debugging race conditions that
exist in parallel builds. With this patch applied, it would have been
much harder to diagnose #13407 for example. So consider this as a mild
proposal to close this ticket as "wontfix".
Well, as mentioned, the amount of output (especially to the screen) should
be ''configurable'', which is IMHO feasable.
The ''average user^TM^'' will hardly be interested in what we produce now
(while some kind of `install.log` could still be complete, also
configurably); buildbots should certainly create "full" logs.
If a user disables all full logs but afterwards reports some hardly
reproducable error (presumably due to some race condition), he and we will
have to live with that; that's not much different to the frequent case
where the logs (or further details regarding the build conditions)
''somehow'' got lost...
