Description of problem:

Populating INPUTRC with /etc/inputrc by /etc/profile prevents using ~/.inputrc

2.6.14

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install rawhide
2. login
3. create .inputrc
4. call the program uses readline facility
  
Actual results:

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

I've just gotten burnt by this too.  The code in /etc/profile to set INPUTRC is useless since readline started 
to support /etc/inputrc by itself, and it screws up the corner case where ~/.inputrc was just created in the 
current session.  Please remove it.

Comment 3 Ondrej Vasik 2008-12-10 16:22:08 UTC

Fixed in rawhide and built as setup-2.7.5-2.fc11, will wait for a while with F-9/F-10 update to see if it is harmless change.

Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2009-02-06 12:08:14 UTC

Fixed in setup-2.6.18-2.fc9 and setup-2.7.4-3.fc10, closing NEXTRELEASE.
