Bug 73824 – emerge --info spits garbage on stderr

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-12-08 10:57:26 UTC]

When capturing output of emerge --info into a variable, the crap at the top is unexpected.

$ emerge --info 2>&1 | cat -v

--nocolor ?

[Comment 2 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2005-01-12 13:41:21 UTC]

$ emerge --info --nocolor
!!! Error: --nocolor is an invalid option.

Besides, if you look at that output carefully, it's not color stuff.

That's the codes to change the xterm title.. Disabling that when the terminal is not a tty would suffice?

Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1

Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are 
actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after 
the initial fix was committed.
