Hi list, being the maintainer of www/nanoblogger, which uses cal(1) to generate the blog calendar, I noticed that ncal(1), and therefore cal(1), prints control sequences to stdout in order to highlight the current date. This scrambles the calendar generated by nanoblogger.
I fixed this issue in the port but talking to one of the folks of our local unix user group I was asked why I am not fixing this in ncal(1) as the sane behaviour would be to omit control sequences if stdout is not a tty. Thinking about that I decided to create a patch: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/158580 I just wanted to ask you fellow FreeBSD users what you think about this issue as feedback in PRs tends to be slow.
