Description Amadeusz Sławiński 2014-01-12 15:45:30 UTC

st allows updating of window title, however seems like emerge ignores this functionality

It would be nice if it could be added.
st uses same escape sequence as xterm
echo -e "\e]0;window title\a"; sleep 3

% echo $TERM
st-256color

.terminfo/s/st           .terminfo/s/st-meta
.terminfo/s/st-256color  .terminfo/s/st-meta-256color


Reproducible: Always

It looks like it simply needs to add them to line 235 in pym/portage/output.py.

Can you please confirm that it works properly for you.

Yes it works and seeing that it is a regexp match adding 'st' seems to be enough
