Does anyone know what readline pkgs are necessay to make bash's
~/.inputrc file work?
These are the pkgs shown by `pkg list -a' on current OS image:
SUNWgnu-readline 5.2-0.133 --r
library/readline 6.3-2017.0.0.1 i--
web/php-54/extension/php-readline 5.4.45-2016.0.0.2 --o
web/php-55/extension/php-readline 5.5.38-2016.0.0.1 --o
web/php-56/extension/php-readline 5.6.27-2017.0.0.0 ---
As you see there I have only library/readline installed
`man bash' shows subsection on INPUTRC and READLINE, but never
mentions what readline library is required.
I think I would like to install whatever readline tools are needed in
order to be able to use ~/.inputrc... which I've found quite usefull
to have from my linux days.
I suspect it will be external readline pkg like readline-gnu
But do not know, because looks like our `gnu-readline', is now part of
`userland-incorporation' and I do have that installed.
What I do know is that ~/.inputrc does not work on my installation of
current hipster (using bash).
