9 I'm already planning to send out a GLEP 42 news item for this before it
10 goes to stable. It will include a description of --quiet-build behavior
11 (including automatic display of build output when a build fails), how to
12 use EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS to customize the local default, and how the
13 default PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM/PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES settings ensure that
14 elog messages are displayed regardless of the --quiet-build setting.
