I described in my blog post[1] how I changed the colors of rc-status, rc-config, rc-service and other OpenRC tools. The environment variable EINFO_COLOR affects OpenRC's color output. EINFO_COLOR=no disables color for tools that use either functions.sh[2] or libeinfo.so[3]. libeinfo.so also supports specifying specific colors in EINFO_COLOR instead of a boolean value[4]. A valid EINFO_COLORS could be (this example makes OpenRC use a solarized color pallette): EINFO_COLOR="good=2;0:bad=1;0:warn=1;1:hilite=7;1:" However, functions.sh does not support specifying colors in this manner. Please support it, or provide a consistent way to change the colors of both libeinfo.so and functions.sh [1] http://cognifloyd.blogspot.com/2013/06/changing-openrc-colors-to-use-solarized.html [2] http://bit.ly/11LTdMC (functions.sh.in line 99) [3] http://bit.ly/17m0raY (libeinfo.c line 366) [4] http://bit.ly/17m0eVf (libeinfo.c line 451) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set EINFO_COLOR to specify specific colors, like: export EINFO_COLOR="good=2;0:bad=1;0:warn=1;1:hilite=7;1:" 2. Run revdep-rebuild Actual Results: # revdep-rebuild /etc/init.d/functions.sh: line 33: 0:bad=1: command not found /etc/init.d/functions.sh: line 33: 0:warn=1: command not found /etc/init.d/functions.sh: line 33: 1:hilite=7: command not found /etc/init.d/functions.sh: line 33: 1:: command not found * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild [snip] Expected Results: Accurately colorized output like apps that use /usr/lib/libeinfo.so
the syntax errors are unrelated http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/openrc.git;a=commitdiff;h=af30c4b86e20512cbd2cfa861ff8346ed6bd1c3e
I'm not sure why this wasn't closed; it looks like it was fixed in OpenRC-0.13.2.
