Bug 16924 – colordiff doesnt add escape sequences to turn off colors in output

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gatto 2003-03-05 17:26:43 UTC]

colordiff doesn't add ANSI escape sequences to turn off colors, corrupting any
output (by colorizing it) after it finishes running. also, colorized context
diffs arent supported and would be nice.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set your command prompt to something without colors
2. run colordiff on two different files

Actual Results:  
command prompt will be same color as the color of the last line of colordiff output.

Expected Results:  
command prompt should be color you have it normally set to.

The author of colordiff incorporated the changes and fixed an error in the
previous patch, and bumped the version, and it is available at: http://colordiff.sourceforge.net/colordiff-1.0.1.tar.gz

So this can be closed. I will submit a new ebuild in a separate bug.
