It might be a good change, but it's also very controversial. Traditionally, ls(1) was colorless by default. I don't mind adding COLORTERM (albeit see no reason for this: those who wanted colors could always added -G option to their ls(1) alias or set CLICOLOR variable), but it should definitely lean to being colorless unless explicitly asked. As Rod had pointed out, colors mean you now have to stat(2) file listed which is a significant performance impact. So yeah, there are reasons why people are so fussed about it. Why fix something that ain't broken? Why break POLA? ./danfe _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
