yum search does no coloring, it just highlights (bold) the string you searched for. "yum list" should produce some color output. (installed/downloaded/newer-than-installed/older-than-installed should all be printed in different colors). These colors are customizable (man yum.conf, color_list_* options). Does "yum list" work on your system as expected?
Surely this isn't correct as if only applicable to list it would be # yum --color=list list Anyway I have no color even in list, nor is there any indication of whether the respective packages are installed or not.
> # yum --color=list list No, the --color option is global. Normally when output is redirected (eg with "|grep ...") you want to turn colors off. With --color=always it should be still on. > Anyway I have no color even in list, It works for me.. Upgrades are blue, downgrades are cyan, etc.. Maybe you didn't have any upgrades/downgrades available? Does the following work? # echo color_list_installed_reinstall=red >>/etc/yum.conf # yum info yum Loaded plugins: ... Installed Packages Name : yum ^^^^ should be in red Repo : installed
OK, Fedora is just too painful to set up, in too many ways. I'm out of here.
