Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash
The current .bashrc in feisty has export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups, then has a one line comment, and then has export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth. This is terribly confusing and unnecessary. The correct way to set this, I believe, would be to just have HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth, which has the effect of combining ignoredups and ignorespace. There is no point in setting one first and then setting ignoreboth. This was probably caused by bug #66539. ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- /etc/skel/.bashrc sets HISTCONTROL twice in succession. https://launchpad.net/bugs/76807 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
