I think the resistance against this more has to do with the output being more
esthetically pleasing (yes I know this is not really a good point for us, but
in general the cmake output is quite nice) than with "writing to stdout is
expensive" (which was a joke in the previous thread).

That being said, it probably makes sense to change the default to =1, as it
definitely helps debugging to see the build commands.

@infra:
However, please raise the file size limit for bugzilla then, and if possible,
please fix the use of compressed build logs. Right now, I would not recommend
uploading a compressed log to bugzilla, because:
* I have not found a way to have firefox uncompress and display it correctly
with one click (always have to download, save, ...)
* and often files end up double-compressed, i.e. save log.gz, gunzip, rename
log to log.gz, gunzip

Cheers, Andreas

I've taken the liberty to change the default in the kde overlay. We'll likely
move this to the main tree with other changes after some testing. Semantics
needed to change a bit; the description now reads:

# @ECLASS-VARIABLE: CMAKE_VERBOSE
# @DESCRIPTION:
# Set to OFF to disable verbose messages during compilation
: ${CMAKE_VERBOSE:=ON}
