From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: The man page for rpmbuild suggests that --quiet will suppress all output except for errors. It does nothing. This option would be very useful for use in automated builds where you want to capture true error output, but not the "set -x" debug output from the build scripts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-build-4.2.1-0.30 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild --quiet <specfile> 2. 3. Actual Results: $ rpmbuild --quiet -bb yum.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.1472 + umask 022 + cd /export/cynosure/orion/redhat/yum-2.0.7 + LANG=C + export LANG + unset DISPLAY ... Expected Results: $ rpmbuild --quiet -bb yum.spec $ Additional info:
Could this be related to the liberal amount of : rpmSetVerbosity(RPMMESS_NORMAL); /* XXX silly use by showrc */ shouldn't it at least restore the previous value ?

Reassigning to owner after bugzilla made a mess, sorry about the noise...
FWIW this has (finally) been fixed upstream so F8 and later will inherit it sooner or later, FC5 is long since EOL'd so updating version.
Fixed in 4.4.2.3-0.1.rc1
