A patch fix the issue.

Description of problem:

 It is hard to read the output of "sosreport -l" if it is stored
to file or is connected to the other command like "less" because
escape characters for coloring are included in the output.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

The laster from svn repository.

How reproducible:

  sosrepor -l > /tmp/foo
  less /tmp/foo

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Escape characters for coloring are included.

Expected results:

Escape characters for coloing are not included only when
the stdout of sosreport is not connected to a terminal.

Hello Masatake,


Thank you for your contribution!

I'd rather not modify __cmdLineOpts__ outside of command-line options, but reused sys.stdout.isatty().

Fixed upstream through https://fedorahosted.org/sos/changeset/1084

Thank you for fixing.
Just a question. Why "Component" field for this bugzilla entry is changed from sos to 0xFFFF?
Comment 3 Pierre Carrier 2011-02-14 09:21:55 UTC 
Sorry, that's a browser-side bug.

Oh, you should file a bug! What package is it??
