Why, sure. It's my interpretation, but a reasonable one, I think. It |
| 11 |
recommends it in its implementation, by creating .bash_profile in |
| 12 |
/etc/skel with content that implements a particular behavior. The |
| 13 |
documentation also states, "So, typically, your `~/.bash_profile' |
| 14 |
contains the line `if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi' after (or |
| 15 |
before) any login-specific initializations." And, lo, the .bash_profile |
| 16 |
file in /etc/skel has a functionally identical line in it. Doubly |
| 17 |
recommended, in a manner of speaking. |
