Bug#582137: dc is ignoring the .dcrc file.
Package: dc Version: 1.06.95-2+b1 Followup-For: Bug #582137 This bug was originally filed in March 2011, almost ten months ago. The report also includes a very small patch that appears to solve the issue. Is there any estimate on when this fix might be included in the Debian version of dc? dc is great little tool, but I don't always remember to execute 4 k every time I run it and then wonder why the division I just did returned a whole number result. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.6 (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dc depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.1.2 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-8 ii libc6 2.13-24 dc recommends no packages. dc suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- --John GruenenfelderSystems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.

Bug#582137: dc is ignoring the .dcrc file.
I would really like to see the .dcrc option back.
as a workaround you can use the command:
$ dc -f .dcrc -
or
$ dc -e commands -
As you don't always want the - option it is hard to alias these
commands so I declare a funtion instead. In .bashrc I have the following:
dc ()
{
if [ -n $1 ]; then
/usr/bin/dc -f .dcrc $*;
else
/usr/bin/dc -f .dcrc -;
fi
}
I think it does what I expect.

Bug#582137: dc is ignoring the .dcrc file.
Package: dc
Version: 1.06.95-2
Followup-For: Bug #582137
This is a regression. Terran Melconian ter...@consistent.org provided
patches in bug #167274 to implement .dcrc and the -E command line
option, wich were applied in version 1.06-9 .
The 1.06.94-1 debian changelog entry notes:
* Upstream has removed the '-E' option.
My guess is that the .dcrc handling got lost there as well.
Please reinstate it, unless upstream disagrees with that as well.
In that case, please remove the (debian-specific) manpage patch
mentioning .dcrc .
Attached ist Terran's .dcrc patch again, slightly modified for
1. moving reading the rcfile to before argument processing, and
2. changed line numbers/context
Rationale for #1 is that I think
$ dc
$ dc -
$ dc -f -
should all behave the same.
regards,
Jan
