[oe] [RFC] Packaged contents of $pkg_dir into $pkg_file

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Dear all,

Not sure how others feel about it, but I feel our build logs tend to
become more and more verbose, making it harder (e.g. in a testing-next
build) to spot anomalies

One of the things contributing to the verbosity are lines like:
Packaged contents of module-init-tools-cross into
/home/hudson/jobs/FM_TEST/workspace/tmp/deploy/ipk/armv5te/module-init-tools-cross_3.2.2-r5_armv5te.ipk

These lines are generated by the last line of:

/recipes/stage-manager/files/stage-manager-ipkg-build

which reads:

Packaged contents of $pkg_dir into $pkg_file

Questions/discussion points:
- do you feel it is useful to be able to suppress these messages

If so how should this be done?
- by fully removing them (quite a drastic solution)
- by having it controlled by an environment variable

And in the latter case: what should be the default behaviour and how
should the variable be named?

Your feedback is appreciated.
