how about we change MAKEALL to run the config step with -s ?

not sure how that relates to this patch...afaict, make board config,
MAKEALL or non:

[u-boot next]$ make distclean && make ve8313_config
Generating include/autoconf.mk
Generating include/autoconf.mk.dep
awk '(NF && $1 !~ /^#/) { print $1 ": " $1 "_config; $(MAKE)" }' boards.cfg > .boards.depend
Configuring for ve8313 board...
[u-boot next]$

..should be silent except for announcing what board its configuring.

instead of silencing a somewhat complicated command that could break the build 
system if it goes wrong, use the mechanisms already in place if you want nice 
& concise output -- the --silent option to make.  i dont see a problem with 
this output you've quoted in the normal run of things.

so to get back to your patch, if you want "pretty" MAKEALL output, change 
MAKEALL to call make with "-s".

I do. It is a change in behaviour and potentially braks a number of
build systems.

Please let's fix this so the previous behaviour is restored.

as Kim highlighted, this has already been "broken" somewhat by other commits 
as sometimes output can be shown before the config line.  so if it was 
breaking people, wouldnt they have complained by now ?

what commits?  awk is the only command in the area that isn't silenced
in make.  wrt the output...I believe that was distclean speaking..make
config only emits "configuring for blah.."

> breaking people, wouldnt they have complained by now ?

both the MAKEALL and make blah_config behaviour have changed since:

commit 866b5619fbc15db8a88954961bbc371c2c9c8b86
Author: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

    Makefile: restore support for board shortcut targets

I was originally confused because build verbosity is has a reversed
sense in u-boot (make is by default noisy, needs silencing vs. linux'
make is by default 'neat', needs verbosity flag set to be noisy), but I
tend to agree with WD on this one.  Else, e.g., why isn't the mkconfig
invocation noisy?

Anyway, for backward noise compatible operation, the 1st patch in this
thread should be applied.

it is not tied strictly to disclean.  run config targets multiple times and 
see the same thing.  `make ve8313; make ve8313`.

behavior changed !== breakage

yes, the current behavior is pretty squirrelly imo

Eventually they don't complain because they did not use this feature
(yet).

OK.

Please undo that behaviour change anyway.

i dont really want this to be completely silenced all the time.  introduce a 
variable to prefix things with for people to control ?
Q_BUILD = @
...
	$(Q_BUILD).....

NAK. Please do not add such mess to the Makefile. It does not belong
there.  If you want such behaviour, it should be added to the make
command itself.

I repeat myself, but all this cmd_* / quiet_cmd_* stuff etc. we see
in the Linux kernel Makefiles (and copied around into a zillion of
other projects) does not belong to the Makefile; it should be
implemented inside make itself.

I never understood why nobody bothered to solve the problem at the
root.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

funny, i could say the same exact thing about "quiet" config output.  make 
already has an option to accomplish exactly that: use the --silent option.  i 
dont see why you would ban pretty output in favor of using standard make 
options while at the same exact time you want to change u-boot's make code so 
that it produces pretty output instead of using standard make options that 
already exist.

how are these situations any different ?
