title: Can I programmatically silence Rake tasks?
body: <p>I have a Rake task that depends on Rake::PackageTask. I need the output from my own task in our logs but I don't need 1000+ lines of output from the package task.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can silence Rake::PackageTask? Or is there a way I can programmatically silence any task, without having to specify <code>rake --silent</code>?</p>
