bug, refactor, test: make pragma history_length work interactively history_length could be set interactively, but it was never used to set readline/pyreadline3's internal state. Using the pragma setting on the roundup-admin command line did set readline's state. Also refactored 2 calls to self.readline.get_current_history_length() into one call and storing in a variable. Also changed method for creating history strings for printing. Tests added for history_length pragma on cli and interactive use. Added test for exiting roundup-admin with EOF on input. Added test for 'readline nosuchdirective' error case. Added test to readline with a command directive to set an internal variable. This last one has no real test to see if it was successful because I can't emulate a real keyboard/tty which is needed to test.

     Original documentation of the Roundup Issue tracker. Includes
     historic Software Carpentry submissions and a short paper.

===================================
Software Carpentry and Short Papers
===================================

These papers are the original artifacts of Roundup.  They can't be
included easily in the table of contents for the documentation, so
they are referenced here.  All of these were written by Ka-Ping Yee,
the original architect of Roundup..

A few of the pages have been updated to correct links. However you may
still have to use the `wayback machine <https://web.archive.org>`_
to access some of the links on these pages. The papers in
chronological order are:

  * `A short paper explaining Roundup <roundup_short_paper.html>`_

  * `The original overview document for Roundup submitted to the
    Software Carpentry competition <original_overview.html>`_

  * `The original specification document for Roundup submitted to the
    Software Carpentry competition <spec.html>`_
