I've used this script ever since (even though I had to slightly modify
it when I learned that "--color=yes" is also a valid option which was
not detected by the original version). However, yesterday I found the
following:
error: cannot specify the `--color` option with `--json`
Regardless of whether this was a change to "rustc" or of whether up to
now none of my builds used "rustc" with "--json": the effort to keep the
script compatible with the current versions of "rustc" and "cargo" now
by far outweighs the nuisance of colour in build logs for me. Of course
anybody else's milage might vary, but I think anybody else using this
script should at least know.
It was a nice workaround, though. Thankyou Hakon :-)
Sincerely,
Rainer

Just doing an attachment, so you'll get the charset as well. Don't know
if that gets through to the list.

Greetings,
having freshly erm ... converted from Ubuntu to Gentoo and thus being an
absolute Gentoo newbie I'm desparately looking for a way to get rid of
all the colour in the output produced by "emerge" but also by "qlist",
"eix", "e-file" and so on.
Is there a way to globally configure this for all these commands? I've
already added 'NOCLOR="false"' to my "make.conf" file but this doesn't
seem to do the trick. Do I really have to remember for each call to one
of these commands to disable colour individually and in addition have to
remember what's the correct "nocolor" option for the command at hand?
Any pointers welcome ... :-)

This last trick could probably be used for other commands as well
(modulo specific argument)

Try setting: NOCOLOR="true" However, terminal colors are set differently - see thread mentioned by Arve. -- Regards, Mick
