--quiet #7
Description
Currently we have the --quiet option in the spec with a question mark behind it. I propose we drop it.
Firstly, having both verbose and quiet as separate entities is confusing,
Secondly, I don't see the use of it. What it currently does is in Module::Build
- Make file copying quiet
- Make fake installing quiet
- Make ExtUtils::CBuilder quiet
- Disable some informational output (e.g. "Building $distname\n"), unless verbose is also set.
It's not affecting TAP::Harness, despite that having lots of quietness levels.
I've often wanted a build to be more verbose, but I never wanted it to be more quiet. Maybe because CPAN clients can already make it quiet for me.
