Details

Description:

An recent update for grc enables wrappers for various tools. This has several issues:

* mtr has wrong terminal size: https://github.com/garabik/grc/issues/72 and doesn't response to keys, and make the terminal behave weirdly
* journalctl doesn't call pager automatically
* nonexistent commands now have unusable aliases (this interferes with shell functionalities like highlighting and completion)
* coloring may not be wanted. The user may only want colors for some commands and occasions.
* it may be slow to colorify on certain circumstances

Arch Linux has the impression that if a behavior is only wanted by some users, they are disabled by default and need to be explicitly enabled by the user. I install grc only to colorify some commands, not all of them.

Additional info:
* package version(s) grc 1.12-1
This task depends upon

That they weren't there in the previous package was actually a bug fixed upstream. This is behaving as expected.

Since the file `/etc/profile.d/grc.sh` is sourced automatically by `/etc/profile` for any login shell, wouldn't it make more sense to move it to `/etc/grc.sh` instead? This way, users could source their shell's specific file (i.e. `/etc/grc.{sh,zsh,fish}`).

I know this is the default behaviour from upstream, but I think adopting this solution downstream would be more shell-agnostic, and allow users to decide which commands to alias without having the hardcoded aliases in `/etc/profile.d/grg.sh`.
