Description Matt Whitlock 2016-09-28 12:57:57 UTC
All net-misc/curl ebuilds presently in the tree violate Gentoo policy regarding emitting banner headers from einfo.

Quoting the relevant policy statement from <https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/messages/index.html>:

> Note: It is a policy violation to use any of these functions to display a line of characters (a banner header). The use of colours and special leading characters provided by these functions is sufficient to make a message stand out.

The net-misc/curl ebuilds each contain two instances of the following command line:

  einfo "\033[1;32m**************************************************\033[00m"

This is a clear policy violation. These extraneous lines should be deleted.
