In ebuilds, portage outputs color. Colors are invoked from utilities like einfo, eerror, ewarn, epatch and maybe some others. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: NOCOLOR="true" emerge portage (package with einfo or such in the ebuild) Actual Results: Outputs color on einfos Expected Results: It should have not made color output. :)
This is already fixed, but in baselayout-1.8.6.3 ... ------------------------ 13 Feb 2003; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: Merge changes from Nick Jones <carpaski@gentoo.org> to not run stty if used in portage. Fix the NOCOLOR stuff. Updated /sbin/functions.sh for this.
Waiting for my comments? Yes, it works. Thanks.
Fixed in baselayout-1.8.6.4.
