Description Vincent Untz 2006-06-21 07:13:32 UTC 
I don't like seeing the output of update-mime-database, so I think adding a
verbose command line switch would be nice.

Patch will follow.

patch

IMHO, it'd be best to use -v for verbose and -V for version, but I don't want
to break stuff...
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2006-07-09 04:41:09 UTC 
To not break stuff the easiest would be to add a "-q" (for quiet)...

Updated patch

This adds -q. I'm not fond of the verbose mode by default, though. Especially
since the output doesn't look useful for 99.999% of the people out there ;-)

I don't think this would break anything, but if you prefer -q, I won't fight.

Alternate patch using g_log and filtering out chatter

Here's the patch I sent in bug 8161 which uses g_log.

Pressure works :)

        * Makefile.am: verbose mode in install mode by default
        * configure.in: up the glib requirements to 2.2
        * update-mime-database.1:
        * update-mime-database.c: (g_log_handler), (usage), (get_type),
        (load_source_file), (write_out_glob), (write_magic_children),
        (write_magic), (delete_old_types), (check_in_path_xdg_data),
        (write_map_entry), (write_parent_entry), (write_parent_list),
        (build_suffixes), (write_suffix_entries), (write_match),
        (write_cache), (main): Patch from Loïc Minier

        update-mime-database quiet by default (Closes: #7289)

Argh, my secret tactic has been uncovered!  :-P
