Description James Antill 2009-06-24 15:56:35 UTC

+++ 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.

 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.

This is a simple fix (move a couple of lines around) and ready to go for snap1.
