--verbosity info is too terse compared to --verbosity debug

[juhp]

General summary/comments

I would like to have --verbose be an alias for --verbosity info with some of the more informative output from --verbosity debug promoted to info.

eg I don't think stack --verbose should output all of RawSnapshotLayer: for most general stack users it is not useful and it makes for example stack -v install output too heavy.

Steps to reproduce

For example:

1. run stack -v install

Expected

details like resolver snapshot paths and compiler chosen, etc

Actual

Outputs all of RawSnapshotLayer - too much information :)

Stack version

2.3.1

Method of installation

• Via cabal-install
• An unofficial package repository: Fedora

Yes -- I ran across this issue while trying to work out what was happening in #5326 . verbosity --info gives you literally nothing at all when you execute a minimal

main = print ()

script, but verbosity-debug gives you 456K of output. Surely there's a happy medium between the two...

Thanks! - will be excited to test this at some point
