This value could be hard-coded (TERM=xterm will usually be close enough) or taken from /etc/ttys somehow. The sh(1) patch to allow updating libedit's TERM looks OK, although it probably should not react to TERM changes in subshells. I do not plan to revert r206182, putting 'set -o emacs' in root's shell startup files instead. I did 'set -o emacs' in the shell itself so that it works even if there are no startup files at all, such as 'make buildenv' and chroot shells. -- Jilles Tjoelker _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
