Subject: [PATCH core-updates] gnu: bash: Make completions work in non-login
 shells.
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2020 00:14:39 +0200

Currently, /etc/bashrc is only loaded by /etc/profile. Because the
former is responsible for setting up command-specific completions, they
currently only work in login shells. This patch configures bash to load
/etc/bashrc in interactive non-login shells, as by default no
system-wide configuration is loaded.

* gnu/packages/bash.scm (bash): Set SYS_BASHRC to /etc/bashrc.
