Bug 66910 – gentoolkit: qpkg colour output not working on ppc-macos

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Chris L. Mason 2004-10-09 12:43:03 UTC]

Instead of colour output, qpkg prints a bunch of garbage in the Terminal on ppc-macos.  For example:

$ qpkg -I -v
x1b[0;01m/x1b[36;01mnano-1.3.4 *x1b[0;0m
x1b[0;01m/x1b[36;01mgentoolkit-0.2.0_pre8 *x1b[0;0m
x1b[0;01m/x1b[36;01mglib-2.4.7 *x1b[0;0m

x1b[0;01m/x1b[36;01mreadline-4.3-r6 *x1b[0;0m

When run with the --nocolor option:

$ qpkg --nocolor -I -v
/nano-1.3.4
/gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre8
/glib-2.4.7
/python-fchksum-1.7.1

Patch is working great.  Thanks!  Can this be commited?

[Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-10-10 15:53:25 UTC]

qpkg and etcat are deprecated, please use equery instead.

[Comment 4 Chris L. Mason 2004-10-12 15:06:41 UTC]

Reopening for same reason as bug #66909

[Comment 5 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-12-08 04:43:08 UTC]

qpkg is deprecated, I won't fix it anymore and will likely remove/replace it
after gentoolkit-0.2.0.
