Group output option

When running things concurrently using --no-pretty, the logs are mixed together from all the different processes.

You could have an option, or default to, to log out the outputs in groups. You’d have to wait for them to end of course and then just output the whole thing for each one as it ends.

Perhaps as --group-logs, though tbh it’s a reasonable default.

As mentioned before, for one off builds, --pretty already behaves as the proposed --group-logs options. Once the build finished, a full (non truncated) logs is flushed to the terminal.

I’ve also just released v3.4.1 which now properly adds the current package name to the --no-pretty output, for watching builds etc.

Hope this helps!

@tshelburne thank you for clarifying. I actually have a very similar setup for another project, but the errors are pretty small in my case most of the time.

Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to make the truncation configurable. The reason for this is that I’m using terminal escape sequences to change the output. It’s not possible to change output beyond what’s visible on the screen. So you can’t use a screen buffer bigger than your terminals amount of rows.

The only way I can think of to make this happen, would be using an ncurses like interface as blessed, but this would be beyond the scope of ultra imho.
