Bug 122494 – sys-apps/portage output.py xtermTitle(): set xterm title for TERM="gnome"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Ed Catmur 2006-02-11 13:17:55 UTC]

In recent gnome-experimental ebuilds, gnome-terminal sets TERM to "gnome" (from "xterm").

dang has confirmed that this change will show up in gnome 2.14 when it hits Portage.

Currently, output.py has

                legal_terms = ["xterm","Eterm","aterm","rxvt","screen","kterm","rxvt-unicode"]

"gnome" needs to be added for xterm titles to be set when running emerge etc. from gnome-terminal.

I attach a patch; this might as well be fixed now so we don't see bugs when gnome 2.14 hits gentoo proper.

patch to portage-2.1_pre4/pym/output.py

Just so I don't get misunderstood: this is NOT a bug in gnome-experimental; it is a change that will need to be made to portage when gnome 2.14 hits the tree.
