--- Comment #7 from Michael Schwendt <bugs.michael(a)gmx.net> ---
added the option -q for silent running because rpmlint was
complaining.
Hmmm. Just don't only try to please rpmlint. Decide yourself whether what
rpmlint suggests is helpful or not. The setup-not-quiet warning from rpmlint is
just a warning, it's not an error not to use -q with %setup. For this tiny
package, adding -q reduces the build output log by less than 30 lines.
On the contrary, if it were a source archive with hundreds or thousands of
files, using -q might make much more sense. And still, a package maintainer may
prefer default output of %setup, because displaying the source archive files
list in a build.log makes it searchable, for example. You never know what may
be discovered thanks to that, such as a [new] bundled library or an incorrectly
generated tarball (with the right source dir only in a subdir, or "unclean" and
with prebuilt files) -- both cases have happened before.
Even if the majority of packages add -q to %setup, there's nothing about it in
the guidelines.
And with %autosetup, quiet output is the default, but one can add -v for
verbose output. ;-)
