Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-15 10:41:53 UTC 
When piping the output of eselect --no-color through nopaste script  
(app-text/nopaste), the text that appears in the past contains the escaping  
used to set the color to the default:  
 
 [00mInstalled binutils for target  [00mi686-gentoo-freebsd5.4 [00m [00m 
   [00m[1] [00m    [00m2.16.1 [00m * [00m [00m 
 [00mInstalled binutils for target  [00mpowerpc-unknown-linux-gnu [00m [00m 
   [00m[2] [00m    [00m2.16.1 [00m * [00m [00m 
 [00mInstalled binutils for target  [00mx86_64-pc-linux-gnu [00m [00m 
   [00m[3] [00m    [00m2.16.1 [00m [00m [00m 
   [00m[4] [00m    [00m2.16.91.0.4 [00m * [00m [00m 
 
this means that the --no-color option is not so likely to be usable for 
parsing output than one would expect, while it shows up as being "colorless" 
on terminal. 
 
HTH, 
Diego

Ciaran: We do use SVN instead of CVS, you know? :-P
Comment 2 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-12-18 16:15:44 UTC 
Wha? Which monkey went and added that? It's silly! Next we'll have to add InArch, InClearCase, InSourceSafe and InGit...

No need for a patch, this one's already tagged as InSVN.
