Add option to filter build output #139

Open Schweber opened 2 months ago

Schweber commented 2 months ago

I just started using flakes and am annoyed that the option --no-build-output isn't accepted when using flakes.

I like the build graph of nom very much but i don't want the hundreds of lines that are printed when something like xwayland is compiled.

Can you please add an option that emulates --no-build-outputs and just shows the build graph of nom (what nixos-rebuild is doing at the moment without printing it to stdout persistently)?

Yes, that is a totally reasonable request and nom already has that mode. It is just not exposed on the command line right now.
