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.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
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.

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