[gentoo-user] dispatch-conf not showing correctly

[gentoo-user] dispatch-conf not showing correctly

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 360 bytes --]

Hello,

I've changed MANPAGER to vimmanpager and PAGER to vimpager. Ever since I'm
having trouble with dispatch-conf displaying content in a really weird way.
http://i.imgur.com/YFdLh.jpg
Setting it back to 'less' doesn't help. Any ideas on how to fix this? Here
is my dispatch.conf.conf: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/504112/

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

The ANSI escape sequences are from colordiff; try changing line 25 of
dispatch.conf to use plain diff instead.

Thank you! That solved the problem.

I also have been experiencing the same problem, and knew that it's gotta be
something simple >.<

That said, reverting to plain diff will cause me to lose colorization, no?
Hmmm... time to whup up some vim syntax script, then...

I don't use vimpager, but is it not possible to just issue set
filetype=diff from within for syntax highlighting? Also upon further
inspection, vimpager >= 1.4.2 should filter out escape sequences [1] so
you may want to update if you're running an older version.

Actually I didn't lose colors.  It seems like colordiff is not needed if
you use vimpager as vimpager itself colorize output.

I'm using colordiff like so:

diff="colordiff -Nu '%s' '%s' | less --no-init --QUIT-AT-EOF"

I don't have your problem with ASCII characters (using urxvt) and of course I 
have colors.

Yes that was how my box was originally set up. Then I switch to vimpager,
and the last worldwide emerge (my term for 'emerge -avuND @world') produced
a lot of ANSI gobbledegook...

Ah, thanks for the info! I'm going to revert to plain old diff then :-)
