Re: Q: Location of copyrighted ROM images for emulator packages?
Hi,
May I ask why we are providing a file for these small startup
files? /root/.bash_profile.dpkg-dist is 3 lines, and .bashrc is 2
lines.
Why are you not just genrating the files as needed by a simple
excerpt like this: (I have taken the contents from the current
base-files on my mirror)
______________________________________________________________________
if [ ! -e /root/.bash_profile ] ; then
cat >/root/.bash_profile<<EOF
# /.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11"
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
export PATH PS1 ; mesg n; umask 022
EOF
fi
if [ ! -e /root/.bashrc ] ; then
cat >/root/.bashrc<<EOF
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' ; export PS1; umask 022
EOF
fi
______________________________________________________________________
No ugly conffiles called *.dpkg-dist hanging out in
directories not under /etc.
I object to "modifying Policy right now" when solutions as
simple as this exist (took me longer to type this up that to come up
with it).

There are still some other things to do, so don't think if I didn't
fix your favorite bug that your bug report is in the bit bucket. (It
may be, but don't think it. :-) Larry Wall in
