sorry, but this patch is wrong. the current code is correct as we do want to use "screen?Eterm" as our match string.
the point is to match a "TERM screen?Eterm" line against the dircolor db. if the dircolor db had a "TERM screen.Eterm" line, then you would have gotten colored output.
so bash is working as designed. what you actually want is to update the coreutils dircolors db to include a "TERM screen.Eterm" line.
I now understand the problem: The 'TERM screen-Eterm' line is missing in /etc/DIR_COLORS After adding this line, I get back my colorful gentoo prompt. Is this a bug for coreutils? Regards, Kfir i sent a patch upstream. i dont consider this important enough to warrant a rev bump ... sorry. No prolem, thanks for your efforts. Regards, Kfir |
Hi, Here is the patch: -safe_term=${TERM//[^[:alnum:]]*/} # sanitize TERM +safe_term=${TERM//[^[:alnum:]]/?} # sanitize TERM Regular terminal: TERM=Eterm screen terminal: TERM=screen.Eterm The sanitize line does this: screen.Eterm -> screen?Eterm after the patch: screen.Eterm -> screen as expected, and now prompt is with colors again. Regards, Kfir Reproducible: Always
