Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.50

Batch byte-compilation is too quiet now:

  emacs-24.5 -Q -batch -f batch-byte-compile foo.el
  Wrote /tmp/foo.elc

Current master:

  emacs -Q -batch -f batch-byte-compile foo.el
  <Prints nothing>

Though I messed around that area recently, I think this specific
silence is being caused by this line:
    (or noninteractive (message "Wrote %s" target-file))

Which was instroduced by this commit, which seems to be intentional.

I like the changes in the verbosity of Emacs's own "make" output, but
batch-byte-compile is a general utility function with uses other than
"building Emacs", and it's a bit weird to see it totally silent after
many years of printing the name of the compiled file. On the other hand,
eg gcc doesn't print anything on a successful compilation, so maybe I
should just get used to it (I don't know if it's worth a NEWS entry).
