Bug 142989 – Add global history patch to bash ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Assaf Berg 2006-08-06 08:59:53 UTC]

There's a neat patch at https://sourceforge.net/projects/bash-gchistory/ that implements a shared history when running multiple instances of bash.

I modified the patch a bit to apply cleanly against bash-3.1_p16, and added a 'global-history' use flag to the ebuild.

i'm pretty sure upstream hasnt seen this ... it needs to sent there first

I doubt upstream would want to mess with this.
Oh well, was worth a shot :)

we have enabled the history append option now in bash ...
