Both Debian/Ubuntu and SUSE distributions color the prompt for different purposes: * Debian/Ubuntu colors the normal user prompt and leave the root user prompt alone * SUSE colors the root user prompt and leaves the normal user prompt alone I actually would prefer that we color both, and make it obvious that "root" is special. We should account for common color-blindness issues, though. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
