Package: bash
Version: 4.4-5
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The comments in the ~/.bashrc or /etc/skel/.bashrc file have
force_color_prompt=yes commented
by default. So as I'm reading it I should not have a color prompt. However, the
case statement
29 # set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
30 case "$TERM" in
31 xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;;
32 esac
defines color_prompt=yes
So I end up with a color prompt as my $TERM matches. (In jessie the case was
different and did not match).
I'm using the xterm on MacOS via SSH.
I expected to not have a color prompt unless I uncommented:
36 #force_color_prompt=yes
Perhaps lines 30-32 could be commented out by default? Or move that case into
the force_color_prompt if block.
