Package: pdsh
Version: 2.27-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I think it would be useful and no problem to compile pdsh with the Option 
--with-readline to support history file. This is not included into the debian 
package right now.
Is there a reason not to include that support? I think this would be very 
useful to have. I have recompiled the package with the readline support and the 
history file
is working like a charm.

To adjust the compile I added only --with-readline into the debian/rules file. 
First I had problem to complete the package but the cause was ncurses-dev was 
not installed.
I was able to fix that.

I would be thankful to get a comment.

Thank you in advance.

Konstantin
