According to Eric Blake on 10/3/2005 10:00 AM: > > There is no mention in NEWS about the additional colorization now available > in > ls and dircolors. This needs to be fixed, because it has user-visible > consequences: I was surprised when my color highlighting of other-writable > directories changed, even though my file parsed by dircolors had not. I > tracked it back to this change: > > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-09/msg00023.html > > I wonder if ls should be providing default colors for file types that are not > specified in the LS_COLORS environment variable. For example, since my > dircolors file was not edited in the course of my upgrade to 5.90, dircolors > never sees the OWR keyword, and LS_COLORS does not have an ow= entry. Yet, > ls > currently initializes ALL of its categories with defaults, then reads > LS_COLORS > and only overrides the categories specified in LS_COLORS. Perhaps when > LS_COLORS is specified, ls should not pre-initialize any of its categories, > so > that the only colors are those specified by LS_COLORS and not by ls's > defaults. 2005-10-13 Eric Blake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (tiny change) * NEWS: Document dircolors change of 2005-09-05. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
