[MacPorts] #24416: Setting xterm titles while building
#24416: Setting xterm titles while building ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: raimue@… | Owner: raimue@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.9.0 Component: ports | Version: Keywords: xterm title | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ port could make use of the xterm title to provide some indicator what is currently doing. When using verbose or debug mode a lot of code will scroll by making it difficult to see what is actually being run at the moment. Such titles can be set by writing to stdout with special escape sequences, such as: {{{ echo -ne "\033]0;Foo Bar\007" }}} This will be implemented in the branch [source:branches/xterm-titles]. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24416> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

One known problem is that it does not reset the title after port exited. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24416#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

A user-defined PROMPT_COMMAND could override this as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24416#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
