I have to disagree here. bash has tons of configuration files: /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/skel/.bashrc your own .bashrc you can put changes in any of these files, but obviously if you choose to modify one of the /etc file, you will have to deal with it! Just like you do for every other configuration file! dpkg deals with config files changes pretty well I think, you can rely on it to be warned when there is a new version and then merge your changes in it. you can also follow the vim way: add "source /etc/bash.basrc.local" at the end of your bash.bashrc file and put whatever big changes you want in this other file. Then you have the big changes you want and you can painlessly merge them with any new version. I have to agree with the previous comment: can we stop this madness now ? Config file conflicts are IMHO nicely handled in dpkg, just use it... -- Aurélien Naldi -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
