Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-9
Severity: normal
File: /etc/skel/.bashrc
The default /etc/skel/.bashrc contains these lines:
if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then
eval "`dircolors -b`"
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
#alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical'
#alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'
fi
However, dircolors already has logic to check whether the terminal
supports color, and it has a more comprehensive idea of what terminals
support color than 'anything but "dumb"'. Thus, please remove the
test for [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ], and invoke dircolors unconditionally,
letting it figure out if it should do anything. If you want to avoid
setting the ls alias when not on a terminal that supports color,
please consider something like this:
eval "`dircolors -b`"
if [ -z "$LS_COLORS" ]; then
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
#alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical'
#alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'
fi
