1: Suggestion: Verbose Mode for Application Installer

Just a suggestion but could be a bit of a time saver during development i.e. no need to open up error log in emacs.

When installing an app (classified ads in this instance) and errors are encountered, the wizard give us: 

Done installing packages. 

Unfortunately, we had some errors. Please check your server error log or contact your system administrator.

How hard would it be to add a toggle on the application install page to show all messages during install?

We already have that!

1) Click "DevAdmin", or click "Developer's Admin" at the bottom of the site-wide admin page

2) Click Package Manager

3) Click "Install packages"

and Voila! you get the good old APM package installer, complete with loads and loads of database and other irrelevant crud.

The APM is kept around for developers, is the point.

Non-developers are completely screwed, anyway, if installing a package failed.

Hence the division.
