>Originator:     Ognyan Kulev
>Release:        5.0.1
>Organization:
>Environment:
NetBSD 5.0.1 GENERIC on i386
>Description:
When there are deeply nested bmake:s and error occurs, for each level nearly identical error message is shown which occupies too much space.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run deeply nested bmake:s, e.g. as used sometimes by pkgsrc.
>Fix:
Ideally, I think only the first error should be shown and rest of wasted lines just to be skipped. I know that these are independent bmake:s and playing with exit codes may not be enough but this is too annoying when it happens.

Responsible-Changed-By: dholland@NetBSD.org
Responsible-Changed-When: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 07:21:53 +0000
Responsible-Changed-Why:
as bmake is maintained in base, this should be filed as a base bug, not a
pkgsrc bug.
