+Bash Configuration for Debian
+-----------------------------
+
+A number of patches for the bash sources is applied for the Debian build
+of bash.  See the details at the end of the file.
+
+The bash package was built using the following configuration options:
+
+        --with-curses \
+        --enable-largefile \
+
+bash-static additionally configured with --enable-static-link.
+
+The upstream ChangeLog can be found in the bash-doc package.
+
+
+A kind of FAQ for bash on Debian GNU/{Linux,Hurd}
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+1. symlinked directory completion behavior
+
+   Starting with readline-4.2a, completion on symlinks that point
+   to directories does not append the slash. To restore the behaviour
+   found in readline-4.2, add to /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc:
+
+       set mark-symlinked-directories on
+
+2. How can I make bash 8-bit clean so I can type hi-bit characters
+   directly?
+
+   Remove the comments from the indicated lines in /etc/inputrc.
+   It doesn't ship this way because otherwise the Meta bindings will not work.
+
+3. How to get rid off annoying beeps for ambiguous completions?
+
+   Put in /etc/inputrc (or in your ~/.inputrc):
+
+	set show-all-if-ambiguous on
+
+   Other people prefer:
+
+	set bell-style none
+
+4. bash doesn't display prompts correctly.
+
+   When using colors in prompts (or escape characters), then make sure
+   those characters are surrounded by \[ and \]. For more information
+   look at the man page bash(1) and search for PROMPTING.
+
+5. What is /etc/bash.bashrc? It doesn't seem to be documented.
+
+   The Debian version of bash is compiled with a special option
+   (-DSYS_BASHRC) that makes bash read /etc/bash.bashrc before ~/.bashrc
+   for interactive non-login shells. So, on Debian systems,
+   /etc/bash.bashrc is to ~/.bashrc as /etc/profile is to
+   ~/.bash_profile.
+
+6. bash does not check $PATH if hash fails
+
+   bash hashes the location of recently executed commands. When a command
+   is moved to a new location in the PATH, the command is still in the PATH
+   but the hash table still records the old location.
+
+   For performance reasons bash does not remove the command from the hash
+   and relook it up in PATH.
+
+   Use 'hash -r' manually or set a bash option: 'shopt -s checkhash'.
+
+7. Bourne-style shells have always accepted multiple directory name arguments 
+   to cd.  If the user doesn't like it, have him define a shell function: 
+ 
+   cd() 
+   { 
+        case $# in 
+        0|1)    ;; 
+        *)      echo "cd: too many arguments ; return 2 ;; 
+        esac 
+        builtin cd "$@" 
+   } 
+
+8. key bindings for ESC
+
+   Consider the following .inputrc:
+
+   set editing-mode vi
+
+   keymap vi
+       "\M-[D":        backward-char
+       "\M-[C":        forward-char
+       "\M-[A":        previous-history
+       "\M-[B":        next-history
+
+   And, just to be certain, set -o reports that vi is on.
+
+   However, ESC k does not send me to the previous line.
+
+   I'm guessing that this is a conflict between bash's concept of a meta
+   keymap and its concept of vi's command-mode character -- which is to
+   say that its data structures don't properly reflect its implementation.
+
+   Note that if I remove the meta prefix, leaving lines like:
+       "[A":        previous-history
+
+   That vi command mode keys work fine, and I can use the arrow keys in vi
+   mode, *provided I'm already in command mode already*.  In other words,
+   bash is doing something wrong here such that it doesn't see the escape
+   character at the beginning of the key sequence even when in vi insert mode.
+
+   Comment from the upstream author: "This guy destroyed the key binding for
+   ESC, which effectively disabled vi command mode.  It's not as simple as he
+   paints it to be -- the binding for ESC in the vi insertion keymap *must*
+   be a function because of the other things needed when switching
+   from insert mode to command mode.
+
+   If he wants to change something in vi's command mode, he needs
+   to use `set keymap vi-command' and enter key bindings without
+   the \M- prefix (as he discovered)."
