Package: toot Version: 0.27.0-1 Severity: minor Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
CLI output is normally in color but when piping the output to another tool, the color is lost. It’s useful to be able to pipe to “less -R”, which is a pager that preserves ANSI control codes and thus color. Apparently toot is detecting the pipeline as non-interactive and automatically stripping out the color codes even when the “--no-color” option is not supplied. It may be deliberate & it’s probably a sensible default behavior. But if that’s going to be the default then we need a way to force color. The convention is typically a “--color=always” option. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-19-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages toot depends on: ii python3 3.9.2-3 ii python3-bs4 4.9.3-1 ii python3-requests 2.25.1+dfsg-2 ii python3-urwid 2.1.2-1 ii python3-wcwidth 0.1.9+dfsg1-2 toot recommends no packages. toot suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
