Hi,

Roel Janssen <roel@gnu.org> skribis:

> On GuixSD:

> Goodbye, world

By default GuixSD=E2=80=99s /etc/profile (sourced by interactive shells) do=
es
this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" -a -f /etc/bashrc ]
then
  # Load Bash-specific initialization code.
  . /etc/bashrc
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It comes from commit 1d167b6e3779bcc1666b5c7d5ee802170c7023b6, which was
about loading the Bash completion code.

Looking at the manual (info "(bash) Bash Startup Files"), I think that
/etc/bashrc is ignored by default.  Thus it=E2=80=99s up to users/distros to
decide what to do with it, IIUC.

Thoughts?
