-------------------------------------

             Summary: Release scripts fail due to missing BLINK capability.
                 Key: MESOS-6425
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6425
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Till Toenshoff


Our release-scripts {{support/tag.sh}} & {{support/vote.sh}} both fail entirely due to their way of initializing the terminal.
Specifically the included {{support/colors.sh}} script's line: 
{noformat}
 BLINK=$(tput blink)
{noformat} 

When changing the initializing to allow for better debugging {{set -e -x}} the resulting trace makes the problem apparent:
{noformat}
$ ./support/tag.sh 1.1.0 2
++ dirname ./support/tag.sh
+ . ./support/atexit.sh
++ declare -a __atexit_cmds
++ dirname ./support/tag.sh
+ . ./support/colors.sh
++ test -t 1
+++ tput colors
++ NUM_COLORS=8
++ test -n 8
++ test 8 -ge 8
+++ tput sgr0
++ NORMAL=''
+++ tput bold
++ BOLD=''
+++ tput smul
++ UNDERLINE=''
+++ tput smso
++ REVERSE=''
+++ tput blink
++ BLINK=
{noformat}

My terminal (iTerm2 with xterm-color256) apparently does not support blinking this way.

{noformat}
$ tput blink
$ echo $?
1
{noformat}
