Of course, the problem with not having a single common command is that there then needs to be a method for .bashrc to figure out which command form to use. > The current behavior goes back to [at least] RH7.0 which is probably where it was introduced :( _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
