At least my rudimentary shell prompt doesn't
recognize the
pasta user namespace and continues to show the same old prompt. I hope
I'm the only one having this issue.
Sorry for the confusion, it was just me indeed. I was missing a
particular shell sequence expansion from my prompt; fixed now[1].

That sounds like a good idea. I didn't realize you'd be running
pasta-in-pasta.. but that's reasonable. Though this will be helpful,
I'm not entirely sure if this would override the prompts that many
have set. At least my rudimentary shell prompt doesn't recognize the
pasta user namespace and continues to show the same old prompt. I hope

I currently have these behaviours with default prompts:
- Alpine:
host:~$ pasta
host:~#
- Debian:
user@host:~$ pasta
root@host:~#
- Fedora:
[user@host ~]$ pasta
[root@host ~]#
- openSUSE:
user@host:~> pasta
host:~ #
so I generally have a hint of something going on, but in any case,
changing the hostname is helpful for unfamiliar users or even just for
the pasta-in-pasta case I mentioned.
What I
can't tell from the prompt, though, is at what "level" I'm at
(at least pasta-in-pasta is something I try very commonly to reproduce
pasta's behaviour with particular network setups). Having
root@pasta-on-pasta-on-machine would be a nice plus.
But in general, this idea sounds good, I'd like to take a shot at
this, and I can send over the patch for you to test once I'm done.
What do you think?
Sure, thanks, looking forward to it!
