Why are verbose makefiles enabled by default in cmake bbclass ?

Why are verbose makefiles enabled by default in cmake bbclass ?

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Hello,

in a project, I'd like to disable verbose makefiles (the bbclass sets 
CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE to 1), since the log output becomes very large, 
and finding compiler errors becomes more difficult. I think there is no 
problem in overriding the default in my recipe. However, I wonder if 
there was a specific reason for setting CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE to 1 in 
the cmake.bbclass, or if this was just preference. Any ideas?

People tend to report errors based on the log files and its tedious to
have to ask them to reproduce the error after having to turn on verbose
output. We do this in a few places to aid bug reporting.
