console output during build

[graingert]

I'd like to be able to see the console output eg of compilations/package manager installs so I get some idea of build status

or if a build fails I'd like to see the logs to debug

Currently, you get the logs with --no-progress or when invoked without a terminal. We are thinking of a best way to show logs on the terminal output. If you have suggestions, let the know.

This should be the case already.

I'm thinking of two potential output flags.

1. Classic output that mirrors the current build output style as closely as possible to help with those that already have scripting or processes built around that output.

2. Verbose output that just shows the output after each step completes. Same as it does now for errors, but also do it for successful steps.

Instead of the --console boolean flag, perhaps a --output [console|terminal|verbose|classic] flag?

I suppose this is closable now (buildctl build --progress=plain)
