-> lsb? maybe its worth to lobby there vapier@gentoo.org 2008-01-15 22:14:06 0000 no one provides inputrc. it is a file for readline to parse. there is no standard for default settings, just whatever the distribution feels like providing. the only people to convince to get it adjusted in Gentoo is the maintainers of baselayout. and i dont care one way or the other. i was just grabbing comments and such from other distributions (Debian/Fedora), i wasnt actively changing the behavior. vapier@gentoo.org 2008-01-16 02:14:36 0000 ive added back the previous bindings for 1.12.11.1
