The VERBOSE_OUTPUT switch only worked for the simple case not conditionned by $LM_VERBOSE. Like in this example where OUTPUT is correctly set to either /dev/stdout or /dev/null:
echo "Swapping out configuration files." >> $OUTPUT
But, when $LM_VERBOSE is used (95% of the time), it would not work as
expected. Take this code for example:
$LM_VERBOSE && echo "AC97 power save mode enabled." >> $OUTPUT
With VERBOSE_OUTPUT=1, LM_VERBOSE="[1 = 0]", OUTPUT=/dev/stdout,
the substituted code would NOT execute due to [1 = 0]:
[1 = 0] && echo "AC97 power save mode enabled." >> /dev/stdout
With VERBOSE_OUTPUT=0, LM_VERBOSE="[1 = 1]", OUTPUT=/dev/null,
the substituted code would execute but send its output to /dev/null:
[1 = 1] && echo "AC97 power save mode enabled." >> /dev/null
Cheers,
Sebastien
