Consider this feature:

The output of confugre scripts and make can be either suppressed or
redirected to file by guix build. It makes easy to track the current
step of building process. 



<andreoss`> is there a way to suppress make output with guix?           [12:37]
<civodul> andreoss`: you mean in the Guix build tree?                   [12:38]
<andreoss`> civodul:  i want to see output of guix, but not of configure
            scripts and make
<civodul> when running 'guix build' and such?
<andreoss`> yes
<civodul> good question                                                 [12:39]
<civodul> maybe --verbosity=0
<andreoss`> thanks. i will try it when gcc is done                      [12:40]
<civodul> hmm actually no                                               [12:41]
<civodul> but that would be trivial to implement
<civodul> andreoss`: could you mail your request to bug-guix <at> gnu.org?

Just to be clear, I suppose you don’t just want something equivalent to:

  guix build foo > /dev/null

right?

So would you like to get rid of all the build output except the “build
trace” lines, those that look like:

  @ build-succeeded /gnu/store/n2yd2d3vxwidmqgzi1i3svqq5qjaczv7-inkscape-0.91.tar.gz.drv -
  @ build-started /gnu/store/5wp9r4mc3rwwp6x4vn422wy9s83nwqjv-gtkmm-2.24.2.tar.xz.drv - x86_64-linux /var/log/guix/drvs/5w//p9r4mc3rwwp6x4vn422wy9s83nwqjv-gtkmm-2.24

Or something else?

TIA,
Ludo’.

OK.  What exactly do you consider “guix output”?  I’m asking because
from the daemon’s viewpoint, everything is build output basically.

That’s already the case, see ‘guix build --log-file’.

Commit 5284339d9d31c97146d92ee3f860ba5c70b77c46 adds a ‘--quiet’ option
to ‘guix build’.

Sorry for taking so long!
