I start genkernel --no-color --oldconfig --gensplash=emergence --kerneldir=./ all but gentoo output caption: " Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.3.8" using green color, also it used green color for "*", which it print at the begin of each line. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Hmmm, a quick grep suggests that this feature was never really implemented. # grep -R CMD_USECOLOR * gen_cmdline.sh: CMD_USECOLOR=1 gen_cmdline.sh: print_info 2 "CMD_USECOLOR: $CMD_USECOLOR" gen_cmdline.sh: CMD_USECOLOR=0 gen_cmdline.sh: print_info 2 "CMD_USECOLOR: $CMD_USECOLOR"
Created attachment 91360 [details, diff] Fix --color and --no-color This patch was created with genkernel-3.3.11d. Is seems to fix the problem, though I haven't tested every single possibility.
Created attachment 91368 [details, diff] Fix --color and --no-color (genkernel-3.4.0_pre2 patch) Same fix, different genkernel version This patch was made with genkernel-3.4.0_pre2.
I've fixed this now in subversion, so it'll show up in the next genkernel version. Sorry it took so long to get this fixed.
Fixed in 3.4.7_pre3
