Download progress interleaved with compile output

Download progress interleaved with compile output

[Mark H Weaver]

I recently installed a large number of packages in a single "guix
package -i" command, and in the resulting transcript I see download
progress reports interleaved with compile output, e.g.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include  -I ../src -I ../include -I ../tools  -Wall -W   -I/nix/store/zs7rsahwk9hmfypgazw1fkk2kg6rymvp-libogg-1.3.0/include   -g -O2 -MT katalyzer-kutil.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/katalyzer-kutil.Tpo -c -o katalyzer-kutil.o `test -f 'kutil.c' || echo './'`kutil.c
http://mirror.yongbok.net/.../guile-ncurses-1.3.tar.gz	 18.0% of 712.2 KiBmv -f .deps/katalyzer-kutil.Tpo .deps/katalyzer-kutil.Po
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include  -I ../src -I ../include -I ../tools  -Wall -W   -I/nix/store/zs7rsahwk9hmfypgazw1fkk2kg6rymvp-libogg-1.3.0/include   -g -O2 -MT katalyzer-kstream.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/katalyzer-kstream.Tpo -c -o katalyzer-kstream.o `test -f 'kstream.c' || echo './'`kstream.c
mv -f .deps/katalyzer-kstream.Tpo .deps/katalyzer-kstream.Po
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is this intentional?

Well, clients make the ‘build-derivations’ RPC, which potentially
involves building several derivations, and the daemon returns the stderr
streams mixed.  So there’s not much that can be done without changing
the daemon and RPCs.

However, note that build logs are kept under $localstatedir.  That’s
what I use when needing to analyze logs.

Thanks,
