Summary0014757: Reduce output of install step
DescriptionMy install installs thousands of files. This means I see thousands of lines of "up to date" messages whenever I change a single file. After switching to Ninja on Linux and Windows (which really reduces the amount of output), this really stands out even more as completely unnecessary.

I have patched my CMake to not display any "Up to date" messages. When you build, you don't receive thousands of .cpp.o files being "up to date", so why would the install step be special?

I've attached my patch for your review. At the very least, it would be nice if this could be made optional (to see all the up-to-date messages).

One idea is to make this optional based on the VERBOSE environment variable.

This idea would be better discussed with a broader audience such as the cmake-developers mailing list:

Brad, would you like me to bring it up on the developers mailing list? I'm not a subscriber currently.

Thanks.

Has this request gotten any traction? It seems like it was immediately forgotten on the list. Thanks.

Re 0014757:0035487: The thread on the list was left expecting you to supply a patch:

Thanks Brand, I guess I didn't get that from the two email responses. I already submitted a patch when I opened this issue. I'm not sure what else I should have done.

Re 0014757:0035491: Readers on the mailing list may not follow links back to see an attachment. Read CONTRIBUTING.rst for the preferred method of submitting patches.

Also, since the patch attached at "2014-02-16 14:36" I asked about making the output dependent on VERBOSE.
