Perhaps this is fixed with an update package, but one other thing I
noticed about my recent yellowdog 1.2 install-
my user account had no ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_logout
It looks to me like the bash package was a quick port of Red Hat's
bash2 package, which does not include those things cause they are
provided by Red Hat's bash package
(Red Hat installs bash-1.x as bash and bash-2.x as bash2)
bash-1.x don't build on PPC, so I can see why bash2 would be renamed to bash.
Anyway, I made a bash package that installs those three files to
/etc/skel (which results in them being installed into the home
directory of any new user you add via adduser) as well as installing
/bin/bash2 as a symlink to /bin/bash for compatability with some R.H.
srpms that are told /bin/bash2 is required to build them. Of course/
the same is done with /bin/sh
This rpm was built completely ground up, and doesn't include the
documentation stuff (though a future version will) though it does
have the bash man1 page.
It can be grabbed at http://24.5.29.77/Linux_Pages/some_rpms.shtml
for those interested. It's bash-2.04 and no patches are applied
(straight gnu bash)
