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

Comment 4 Assaf Berg 2006-08-07 00:32:57 UTC

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