Subject: Reducing default verbosity
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 14:33:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vahlti42.fsf@mdc-berlin.de> (raw)
Hi Guix,
for the release after 0.14.0 I’d like us to implement changes to the
default verbosity of Guix commands.
Here are a few things that I think would make for better defaults:
* Reduce package downloads from three lines to one line. The
“Downloading URL” line is only important when things go wrong.
* Reduce precision in percentages. The extra digit and the period
contribute to visual noise.
* Widen progress bar, so that it changes more quickly.
Before:
Downloading https://berlin.guixsd.org/nar/gzip/r43434523452345…-zlib-1.2.11…
zlib-1.2.11 151KiB 12.6MiB/s 00:00 [###############] 100.0%
Downloading https://berlin.guixsd.org/nar/gzip/rlol…-libpng-1.6.29…
libpng-1.6.29 377KiB 10.6MiB/s 00:00 [############# ] 90.0%
After:
zlib-1.2.11 151KiB 00:00 [##############################] 100% 12.6MiB/s
libpng-1.6.29 377KiB 00:00 [######################### ] 90% 10.6MiB/s
* Redirect all build output to log files; as we can’t generally estimate
progress I’d use a spinner and maybe display the name of the current
build phase and the number of build phases that are left.

There are some pretty single character unicode spinners here:

* Remove double messages that are printed by the daemon and the Guix
client, e.g. hash mismatches. Here’s an example of this:
