Description Dirk Mueller 2005-12-01 08:45:49 UTC

Hi, 

there was a Google summer of code project from Fedora that implemented global command line history (e.g. independently from how many console windows are open). It would be nice to include this patch in suse, as it sounds very useful.

Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-12-01 09:57:49 UTC

Hmmmm ... please provide the URl.
Btw: Hopefully this patch does not destroy the history of a running
     bash, e.g. intermix the history of two bash sessions.

Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2005-12-01 13:05:43 UTC

Created attachment 59447 [details]
diff for man page

adds man page description for ghistory variants

Comment 4 Dr. Werner Fink 2006-01-10 12:33:17 UTC

gchistory.patch is buggy because it fources readline files
to include a bash header file (unwind_prot.h).
