Description Daniel Qarras 2013-03-08 14:09:05 UTC

Description of problem:
This is probably related to bug 653054. With 

set history  = 2
set savehist = (5 merge)

in my ~/.tcshrc any session remembers two previous commands as expected or two commands initially loaded from ~/.history. And when starting with no ~/.history in place the two commands are saved as expected. But on subsequent sessions ~/.history is never updated. This happens with and without merge, seems like if sizes of history and savehist are different then there are issue.

After reading the manual page I was expecting the above to 1) keep two previous commands in memory and 2) saving those two commands to the history file which would contain five entries.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tcsh-6.18.00-3.fc18.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
History file ~/.history never updated after initial creation.

Expected results:
History file ~/.history updated after each shell session exits.

Additional info:
Putting history -S into ~/.logout makes no difference.

Fixed in rawhide by scm-commit (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20130325/989711.html). I do plan to fix it in f18 in next cumulative update.

Otherwise works ok but this BZ is not fixed due to

http://mx.gw.com/pipermail/tcsh-bugs/2013-March/000824.html

so I think this BZ should be marked as NOTABUG then?

Thanks!

Well, this is not one issue, but there were noted two issues:
1. ~/.history was never updated - fixed BUG
2. commands in history reflect "history" count if "savehist > history" - NOTABUG

Comment 9 Ondrej Vasik 2013-07-09 07:33:43 UTC

Closing NEXTRELEASE as only maintainer can push update to stable and Frido is no longer around.
