Thanks for forwarding this note by Jim Meyerding. I like his ignoring of
/etc/DIR_COLORS, I always found that filename rather ugly and kept my own
file /usr/local/etc/colour-ls.rc for these colour settings.
IMHO, two things remain:
- the fileutils maintainer should patch dircolors so that it gives
bright red for .deb files as for .tar and .tgz files.
Debian's color-ls did that too
- ask Jim why dircolors doesn't generate the aliases as the
Slackware version did. Should we patch it to remain backwards
compatible?
