Package: fish Version: 2.0.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when logging in a Debian chroot environment, bash prompt shows the environment name, in order to distinguish between the host shells and the chrooted ones: # inside /etc/bash.bashrc .... # set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below) if [ -z "${debian_chroot:-}" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot) fi # set a fancy prompt (non-color, overwrite the one in /etc/profile) PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' .... I added a fish prompt sample which mimics the same behaviour; my patch will likely soon be merged into the official repository: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/1351 My suggestion is to set this prompt as the default prompt in Debian, in order to have the same behaviour as in bash. I opened this ticket before my patch getting merged because I would forget otherwise.
