Bug#508341: lintian: Dropped html color output
Hi, lintian had a nice --color html which we ftpmaster used. Now in 2.1.1 thats gone. Please put it back. Thanks. HTML colour output was dropped in 2.1.0 as part of the reorganisation of Lintian's output methods. I assume no-one had realised that it was in active use. :-/ Reintroducing it shouldn't be a problem, although I'm debating whether that should be directly (by readding the original option) or as an alternative output format (i.e. lintian --exp-output format=htmlcolor or similar).

I'd rather we put back the original option. We shouldn't make users use a different option, and that output format wasn't experimental. It was intended to be a regularly supported option. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I can't remember if I spotted it at the time, but it was the same commit that broke lintian -i --color=auto so I noticed it whilst fixing that.

Okay, I'll go with that then. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only place it's not currently documented is in the --help output but, so far as I can see, it never has been there.

The sooner you could upload the better, as ftpmaster is actively using it :) The only place it's not currently documented is in the --help output but, so far as I can see, it never has been there. Besides us ftpmaster using it i dont know of anyone else, so probably not so important. -- bye, Joerg Do you agree to uphold the Social Contract and the DFSG in your Debian work? Absolutely.
