Package: iproute2
Version: 6.10.0-2

Could you please drop the color output of ip by default?

Sometimes color output is very helpful, eg. for syntax
highlighting in your favorite editor, but I cannot imagine
why it would be helpful to show the IPv6 address in blue
on black background, or the MAC address in yellow on white.
This is just hard to read. It makes it necessary to struggle
with config settings for a tool that should work out of the
box.

Workaround is using ifconfig again.


Thnak you

Harri
