#10687 closed enhancement (fixed)

Add current architecture to PS1

Reported by: puckipedia Owned by: puckipedia
Priority: normal Milestone: R1
Component: - General Version: R1/Development
Keywords: bash, ps1, getarch, bin Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description

This patch changes two things:

  • It makes setarch add the current arch to the start of PS1 (disableable with the -n (--no-ps1) argument)
  • It changes /etc/profile to add the starting arch to the PS1 (or unknown if getarch isn't available)

It looks like this: 

Welcome to the Haiku shell.

[x86_gcc2] ~> setarch x86
[x86] [x86_gcc2] ~> getarch
x86
[x86] [x86_gcc2] ~> setarch x86_gcc2
[x86_gcc2] [x86] [x86_gcc2] ~> exit
exit
[x86] [x86_gcc2] ~> exit
exit
[x86_gcc2] ~> getarch
x86_gcc2

Okay, I added a patch to switch it up: It is now "Oldest arch left, newest right": 

[x86_gcc2] [x86] ~> getarch
x86
[x86_gcc2] [x86] ~>

I think this is only useful when the current selected architecture isn't the default one.

You can just remove the changes made to /etc/profile, will do that in a moment
