[bitbake-devel] [PATCH v2] bitbake: Colorize knotty interactive console output

[Seth Bollinger]

I'm not sure how best to resolve this.  Would you like me to add some code
to try and detect background color?  This seems like it might be more
complex than it's worth...

Or would it be better to have a selectable light background color set?  If
you think light background is more common (I dislike staring at large
blocks of white :)) it could default to the light color set.

Thanks!

Seth
