After updating to rtorrent-0.9.0/libtorrent-0.13.0 the colour commands such as: active_fg_color=1, done_fg_color=2 etc., are rejected with: rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:7: Command "active_fg_color" does not exist The colour options work with the previous rtorrent-0.8.9/libtorrent-0.12.9. rtorrent in both versions has been compiled with USE="color".

Indeed it seems color patch stopped working with 0.9.0. As a temporary workaround, please comment-out color options in your configs for now
dot dot dot, any news?
I gave up on this ebuild. I installed rtorrent + pyroscope in my HOME. see: http://code.google.com/p/pyroscope/wiki/PyroScope It has colours and lots of other goodies. I hope to see it in portage one day.

Created attachment 308187 [details, diff] Patch to fix the patch-file rtorrent-0.9.0-canvas-fix.patch
The problem is within the patch file that adds the color functionality. The version 0.9.0 of the patch (file rtorrent-0.9.0-canvas-fix.patch) lacks an important chunck of lines to be added to the file command_network.cc which controls what keywords are valid on the config file, so without these lines the config file with the color configuration cannot be parsed. I fixed the patch adding the required lines, it works now.
I have updated to 0.9.1 (fixed some other bugs), but I dropped color support. It was slowing updates when new version was coming out. Whoever wants this badly, should get in touch with upstream directly to add support properly. I apologize for any inconvenience, but I believe working B&W rtorrent is better than no rtorrent.
