I've tried setting quiet, reallyquiet, and cvs.quiet, and I still get reams of console out for cvs (and svn) checkouts. Can there be a global variable in build.properties (or a better place, if you can suggest one) which can be set to: * verbose (more output, if there is such a thing) * normal (current setting) * quiet (minimal output) * reallyquiet (no output) Or if that's overkill, then at least please support a new reallyquiet / silent mode. See also bug 255991.
CVS checkouts are done using the ant cvs task which supports quiet and reallyquiet. Such things are up to the implementation of the fetch extension, so SVN is up to whoever is providing that extension.
Yes. But how do you tell PDE to call <cvs> with reallyquiet="true" ?
I assumed you couldn't right now and that we need to change the cvs fetch script generator to allow it. A look at the generated fetch script shows that you should be able to set "cvs.quiet=true" to get the quiet, but there is nothing for reallyquiet

Created attachment 118735 [details] patch to add optional reallyquiet attrib to generated <cvs> tasks This is an API change on a couple of inner methods. I'm not sure if that's acceptable; I can add the old syntax back and just assume null values for reallyquiet if you prefer.
I see you've moved stuff around in CVS. Do I need to submit a new patch?
No, the patch looks to apply ok
released with minor changes. Property is "cvs.reallyquiet"
