Description Ernst Sjöstrand 2004-07-12 11:18:52 UTC

Gentoo has a very nice trend of using color in all the portage tools.
Except etc-update? It's very hard to see where the questions stops and the diff starts, etc.

Reproducible: Always

I think colordiff would be a nice addition to a colored etc-update. Please consider to add this when you colorize etc-update.

If someone provides patches, it might be done faster.
This is not something that will get done any time soon otherwise.
