This breaks some use cases as it modifies order of sourcing of /etc/bashrc file. Due to this change /etc/bashrc gets sourced before user's ~/.bashrc and there is no way to set configurations before /etc/bashrc is sourced (See comment here[1]). It looks like making this work will possibly require significant refactoring of startup scripts in fedora (that might cause some compatbility issues). The scripts under /etc/profile.d are sourced by /etc/profile for login shells and by /etc/bashrc for non-login shells. Refactoring the startup scripts will lead to a more cleaner solution, however it may also break existing setups. > > [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193590 > [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1390780 > [3] > https://github.com/fedora-testing/bash/commit/87ac935a6643a9afee44a9575771418d7be15fcb > [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193590#c20 > > -- > -- > Siteshwar Vashisht > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193590#c40 -- -- Siteshwar Vashisht _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
