Package: colordiff Version: 1.0.4-4 Severity: important Tags: patch Hello. If the output is not a terminal (like, when using diff to make a patch), colordiff will still happily colorize the output. This is bad if "diff" is an alias to "colordiff", as suggested in the manpage.
The fix is simple: exec "/usr/bin/diff",@ARGV unless -t STDOUT; I already reported this bug upstream over three years ago, but it appears to be left unfixed. At least, the bug bit me today again :p -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages colordiff depends on: ii perl 5.8.4-8sarge4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
