--- Begin Message ---Package: grc Version: 1.12-1 The grc package has suddenly added aliases to colourify several commands. Worse, it creates some truly awful (e.g. white on green) and completely useless and unreadable colour combinations (e.g. blue on black for several commands, and black on black for docker container and image IDs). I don't know exactly what version of the grc package started this (I only noticed last night after rebooting my machines for a kernel upgrade), but this should: 1. Be optional/configurable - e.g. with a "GRC_ALIASES=[true | false]" setting in /etc/default/grc IMO the default should be 'false' (for the principle of least surprise) but that doesn't really matter as long as there is a way for the user to choose. I have grc installed to colourise logs and other output when I want to. I wasn't expecting to have common commands suddenly have garish and hard-to-read colours. BTW, depending on order of execution, these aliases may also over-ride aliases already set by the user/system-admin. 2. Not assume a white terminal background. Either choose colours that work on both white and black backgrounds, or have a "light" and a "dark" set of colours. A "light" and "dark" set could be implemented by having a /usr/share/grc/light and /usr/share/grc/dark subdirectories (which should all be conffiles as noted below). The /etc/profile.d/grc.sh script could read a setting in /etc/default/grc (e.g. GRC_ALIASES=[light|dark|none]), and symlink the appropriate colour set into /usr/share/grc/ - e.g if [ -n "$GRC_ALIASES" ] && [ "$GRC_ALIASES" != "none" ] ; then ln -sf "/usr/share/$GRC_ALIASES"/conf.* /usr/share/grc/ fi A setting of "none" should delete all symlinks in /usr/share/grc. e.g. if [ -z "$GRC_ALIASES" ] || [ "$GRC_ALIASES" = "none" ] ; then find /usr/share/grc/ -maxdepth 1 -type l -delete fi 3. List /usr/share/grc/conf.* as conffiles. None of them are currently conffiles in the package - this means that any local customisations (like fixing black on black) will be reset every time grc is upgraded. craig PS: I had to undo this on all my systems by running (in every terminal and tmux window...dozens of shells after rebooting them for a new kernel and re-starting my usual terminal windows and tmux sessions, so this was very tedious): unalias as blkid colourify configure df diff dig docker docker-compose docker-machine du env fdisk findmnt free g++ gas gcc getsebool head id ifconfig ip iptables journalctl kubectl ld lsblk lsof lspci make mount netstat ping ps semanage sockstat ss tail traceroute traceroute6 I also had to edit /etc/profile.d/grc.sh on all machines to prevent it from happening again: - if [ "$TERM" != dumb ] && [ -n "$GRC" ]; then + if [ 0 -eq 1 ] ; then
