One more thing to consider with the "fallback" approach: If you do this, users who've manually set PROMPT_COMMAND will remain with the old method of figuring out the cwd, including all its bugs and limitations (not remembering symlink components, not working after sudo, etc.) They would probably live on with these compromises, unaware that there is a better solution.
If you don't do the fallback, those users will be pushed to switch to the new, better solution with all its advantages. Your call. I would personally probably do the fallback if /etc/skel ever shipped a PROMPT_COMMAND for the sake of those users, but not ship the fallback otherwise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132700 Title: gnome-terminal >= 3.7 requires sourcing of vte.sh login script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-terminal/+bug/1132700/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
