Hi guys,
I've got a quick question. Seeing as some boot colour is white (i.e. [DONE]), will it be the same with pacman? I mean, I just love black-on-white terminals, and this makes "a bit" difficult to read white text. I'd love if this could be configured (similar to bright/dark background in vim). Oh! and thanks for the efforts from an Arch noobie!
PS: I just don't feel serious when I type "pacman" on a terminal.

color in init scripts can be set in /etc/rc.d/function

When this feature actually gets merged in (probably 3.1), the colors will probably be configurable (this = red, that = magenta)

That's really nice, and seems logical to me.

Well i think _I_ would personally love it if it makes it into
the first "stable" release of pacman 3.0 :-)

At least I love colours!

Is this going to use termcap or something to be more portable? From what I understand not all terminals use these escape sequences.

ANSI escape sequences are supported in most of terminals, it is standart, and it was simpler use this to make coloured pacman. I don't know what shall pacman 3.1 use for colored output, but I think that shall ANSI sequences too.

changes:
cleanup of the code (in patch of course )
error, warning and debug messages are now white (or bold on white background)

source and PKGBUILD

Hi all,

I rewrote most parts of the patch, in strings are "color marks" (code is much cleaner), this marks are replaced by ansi sequences (only, when output is tty), if you like see patch. I make some changes in output too. This is a final form .
I hope you like it (it's much better like first version )

PKGBUILD, source code and patch

very usefull function

# ~/.bashrc
# pacman
pacman() {
    if echo $* |grep -E "\-S[cdefuwyvrbn]*\b|-[RUAF].*|\-S\b" &> /dev/null ; then
        sudo /usr/bin/pacman $*
        # su -c "/usr/bin/pacman $*"
    else
        /usr/bin/pacman $*
    fi
}

It's realy great stuff. Thanks! I think it should be in official pacman 3.0.0.

The output would be more readable if some less important lines were gray instead of white, I think (like in makepkg). How about that idea?

Good job.

Thanks for this patch, it works nice here.

vogo · 2007-04-04 20:30:15

gbrunoro · 2007-04-08 23:45:35

all is ok, I make some changes, its a little step backward. I was at a party with my friends, and we spoke about pacman. I have finally any feedback, output are this changes.

gbrunoro · 2007-04-09 18:00:41

got it, thanks!
I had to download it from that PKGBUILD folder, because the tar.gz one still don't pass on md5
BTW looks very nice the coloured pacman from your patch ohoho
