What about showing chosen flags by default?

I'm using ./setup configure && ./setup build very often and hope that it just works (which it really does most of the time :) However sometimes it might be interesting to know which flags are chosen.. Do you think it would be useful to show the chosen flags by default (not only when using -v3) ? It's only one additional line but gives you a lot of useful information (IMHO) Meanwhile I'm using configure .. 2>&1 | grep 'Flags chosen' Marc

You're not using cabal-install yet? :-)

using $ cabal configure -v gives a reasonable amount of useful information (at least that's the intention). You don't need to go to -v3. Do you think cabal configure -v produces too much? Perhaps we could tone that down a bit so that it's more comfortable to use -v without feeling that you're being swamped with info :-) Duncan
