Public bug reported: When using dc, the man page suggests that the ~/.dcrc file is read at startup.
Using strace against dc shows that this is not the case; the ~/.dcrc file is never opened. There was a "bug" reported against Debian dc (Debian Bug 472250) that was reported as fixed in version 1.06.94-3.1 and the changelog reports that this change was made in Ubuntu dc. Debian bug 472250: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472250 The ~/.dcrc is handy for a variety of things, but one thing is to set the precision of the calculator when starting up. ** Affects: bc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/918836 Title: .dcrc file not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bc/+bug/918836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
