Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash
using lucid with bash 4.1-2ubuntu3 as a followup to bug #465500 the lines in question now read: # don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options # ... or force ignoredups and ignorespace HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:ignorespace the second line doesn't make any sense. it starts with "or", as opposed to what? it says "force", what does it force? i find this wording (adapted from the description of bug #465500) much better: # don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space in the history. # See bash(1) for more information HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- questionable comments for HISTCONTROL in /etc/skel/.bashrc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
