My advice to OP would be: first of all, before considering improving the

Hi,
Debian 12 here, obtained by upgrading Debian 11.

The other point about browsers is that when I look at my home directory

Ummm, no it isn't. It is a serious b

So, yep, I've got more dotfiles than regular files in my home
directory, but somehow I fail to care.
% find ~/ -maxdepth 1 -iname "[a-z0-9]*" | wc -l
50
% find ~/ -maxdepth 1 -iname ".*" | wc -l

No, they don't. That, of course, is part of the problem.
But it would be useful if packages were to have a standard format for
declaring what dotfiles the package is in charge of. Much

Look at the access times. dotfiles that have not been accessed in years
can probably be safely removed.

Package managers don't track .dotfiles. Those are created at runtime by
your software.

There are lots of .dotfiles cluttering my home directory.
No doubt some of them are useful.
Many, though, are probably remnants of packages of years past -- packages
I installed long ago, no longer need, and have removed.
Is there any way of identifying which packages are using which dotfiles

On mine it executes .bash_profile (normal login shell).

What file can one put "unalias ls", or anything in fact, in for it to
get read on the remote system upon interactive ssh? .bashrc,
.bash_profile are apparently not read.
At most I can do now is
$ ssh porky.simonds.net
porky$ unalias ls
I don't want the dotfile read on batch jobs preferably.

Hmm... you'd need to setup the server machine for the Coda server; well,
you can ask (beg) the sysadmin.

ut 35 debian systems, 4 of which i use heavily
daily(the rest are mostly dedicated servers). and i run
another 20 sun sparc solaris systems/ibm aix/tru64 etc.
maybe im not geeky enough but my dotfiles are always empty.
about the only thing i keep in sync is my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
file. i modify the

machine than I'd like. And, of course, it goes without saying that
people who aren't me shouldn't be able to modify the dotfiles.)
