 |
|
As of app-portage/portage-utils-0.90,
$ q
does print in color, but if you do
$ q > file
it will be colorless. I wrote a quick patch that makes outputs always in color, unless you pass --nocolor.
Get it here. Save it as /etc/portage/patches/app-portage/portage-utils/notty-color.patch, re-emerge, and you're done.
Don't send it to bugzilla and annoy Gentoo developers. Once you enhance it to
--color=always/auto/never
i.e. as "ls (1)" does, I guess it'll be ok.
Regards.

If want to avoid patches in situations like that, can always force it with the script command (from util-linux), like: | Code: | | script -aefq /dev/null -c "quse -Dvp firefox" | grep www-client > stillcolored |
Can also replace /dev/null by the actual file and it'll work more like bin/tee. Given it makes the command a bit nasty, makes more sense with an alias/wrapper.
Not that I don't agree portage-utils needs an option to control this rather than be auto-detection-only. |
