Bug 577720 – sys-apps/portage New color.map configurations for packages belonging to a user set in /etc/portage/sets/

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Emily Mills 2016-03-18 17:38:05 UTC]

BACKGROUND:
I've recently started making more use of portage sets to organize packages that used to all be in my world file. What I started to notice was that when running world updates, emerge no longer highlighted packages I have selected, since they were outside of the world file. I would like to be able to configure how packages in sets are displayed so that I can give them the same colorization.

FEATURE:
Three new settings should be added to /etc/portage/color.map: PKG_MERGE_SET, PKG_BINARY_MERGE_SET, and PKG_NOMERGE_SET.

I've opened a pull request with these changes here: https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/25

BTW "man color.map" mentions /etc/portage/color.map but it does not exist currently

It only exists if you create it.
