For the record, then -- # which emerge /usr/bin/emerge # grep -i color /etc/make.conf NOCOLOR="true" # echo $TERM screen and here are a zillion ways of trying to disable color output. In all of these cases except piping into less, the phrase Searching for a previously downloaded file in is in yellow, and the phrase /usr/portage/distfiles is in green. Those two phrases are common to all examples. I did not abort them all at the same time, and the phrase The best of all is ... digikam-doc-0.8.2-et.tar.bz2 is in green up to and including the ellipsis with the remainder in blue. There are some other phrases in green and yellow too. Piping into less did not come out in color, but in ascii escape sequences. Either they got garbled and are the proper color sequences, or less declined to show them as color, and I don't care which for the purposes at hand. Redirecting into a file, then catting the file, reproduced the colors faithfully. I will try to attach the color output, but I do not know if the mailing will allow attachments. # emerge -f digikam Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-gfx/digikam-0.9.1 to / >>> Downloading >>> 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/digikam-doc-0.8.2-es.tar.bz2' Searching for a previously downloaded file in /usr/portage/distfiles Exiting on signal 2 # emerge --nocolor -f digikam *** Deprecated use of '--nocolor', use '--color=n' instead.
