> Suppressing the ''copying...'' messages sounds good to me. Should we
have an option to enable them?
I have a patched Python package here that currently only adds the `if
verbose:`.
Unfortunately, setting `distutils.log`'s verbosity level (before calling
`setup()`) seems to not work for some reason. It's not clear what the
`verbose` parameter is supposed to change, and apparently it isn't
[always] passed to `copy_file()`.
There's always `DISTUTILS_DEBUG` btw. ;-)
We could make use of Sage environment variables (e.g. `SAGE_DEBUG_BUILD`,
or `SAGE_DISTUTILS_VERBOSITY_LEVEL`) directly there, enabling more output.
But I think keeping the other messages of the same verbosity level (like
"''creating ...''" etc.) is ok, I'm not sure about "''moving ...''" of
which we also have a lot, but by far not that many.
Did I already tell the `install.log` size drops to less than the half with
non-verbose untarring and "copying" messages suppressed? (Also quite
significantly depends on the length of `$SAGE_ROOT`...)
> Should we use suppress "tarbosity" in `sage-bdist`, too?
Less important, at least to me.
