alias for ll (list files in long format)

Easy, clean little patch attached here.

I'll gladly upload this, if I can get someone to verify that this functionality is okay by the Foundations cabal. Ideally, it would get some support from the server-papercuts project too ;-)

if it's that easy to "convert" sysadmin, please go ahead. The changes should be in the skeleton files as well.

Please consider merging 4.1-2 to include two upstream patches.

Thanks Matthias! Doing the merge now ...

Hi Matthias-

Please see:
 * http://people.canonical.com/~kirkland/bash

I also uploaded this to my PPA.

I did the merge, adding my changes, and documented everything else that's left.

I think it looks good at this point, bug give that we're in Lucid Beta, and the nature of the bash package, I would very much appreciate a second set of eyes!

I'm working in the US West Coast timezone this week, so if you can, please spot check and upload this, or go ahead with your changes and upload at your earliest convenience tonight or tomorrow. Cheers!

please don't add the aliases directly in /etc/bash.bashrc, which enables them for every user; the change for the skeleton file looks ok; this needs a change in base-files for the root user.

This bug was fixed in the package base-files - 5.0.0ubuntu11

---------------
base-files (5.0.0ubuntu11) lucid; urgency=low

  * share/dot.bashrc: Sync with bash's skeleton bashrc, just don't
    enable command completion by default.
    - Uncomment useful aliases for ll, la, and l, to better match sysadmin's
      expectations coming from other enterprise distros (Dustin Kirkland).
      LP: #545262.
