Thanks for report ... Removal was due to fact, that newly created ~/.inputrc file was ignored with the old /etc/profile . After consulting it with readline maintainer, it turned out that readline no longer needs that hack in /etc/profile and there is no reason to keep it. So it was removed - it seems that MySQL is using some older readline (as written e.g. http://www.listsearch.com/MySQL/Thread/index.lasso?38750#251530 ) - so I have to find some suitable solution for it. Just reverting back the change would mean reopening fixed bugzilla with ignored ~/.inputrc by readline. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Adding mysql maintainer to CC, maybe it could help to find out how to make everyone happy before F-9 EOL. AFAIK this problem is already fixed, see bug #488430. Can reporter reproduce it with mysql-5.0.77 ? Ah, cool, indeed it is. Cheers. |
Description of problem: When using the mysql shell, pressing delete produces a ~ rather than deleting a character. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): setup-2.6.18-2.fc9.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have the above version of setup installed 2. Run mysql e.g mysql -u root -p 3. When at the mysql> prompt, type some text, e.g USE then back arrow twice and press Delete to delete the S Actual results: A ~ is produced to give U~SE Expected results: The S is deleted. Additional info: I tracked this down to a change in /etc/profile.
