Dear Maintainer,
Bash's default /etc/bash.bashrc blindly overwrites PS1 even if it's been set
already.
This makes it difficult to use sudo's abiltity to set PS1 via the SUDO_PS1 env
var.
Perhaps overly simplistic, but the following modification seems to work in all
the
situations I've tried:
--- /etc/bash.bashrc.orig 2014-11-12 17:08:49.000000000 -0600
+++ /etc/bash.bashrc 2015-06-24 12:13:36.445096411 -0500
