+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #506754 +++ Description of problem: I still see color when I use the option "--color=never" or set color=never in yum.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.23-3.fc10 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ yum --color=never list 'e2fs*' Actual results: see colors Expected results: no colors Additional info: IMHO, no color should be the default. --- Additional comment from james.antill@redhat.com on 2009-06-18 11:43:38 EDT --- Here's the fix: http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum.git;a=commitdiff;h=86d3ee60e1d067cd3eeb1aff436502e638f66fdd ...you can change the default to no colour by setting "color=never" in your yum.conf. --- Additional comment from zing@fastmail.fm on 2009-06-18 14:27:18 EDT --- confirm patch worked. thanks. i know i can set it in yum.conf and that's what i'll be doing.
This is a simple fix (move a couple of lines around) and ready to go for snap1.
Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Due to a logic error in the code, yum ignored the --color=never option on the command line and color=never option in yum.conf. Yum output was therefore always in color, regardless of user preferences. With the error corrected, users can now use yum in monochrome.
