Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-3
Severity: minor
It seems that "ssh ba[TAB]" will try to complete "ba" as a hostname,
using ~/.ssh/config as one source of names. The file ~/.ssh/config is
described by the ssh_config(5) manpage, and in addition to the simple
Host pattern, e.g.
Host foo.example.net
Port 443
you can have multiple patterns
Host foo.example.net bar.example.net
Port 443
AFAICT bash-completion only "sees" the first one. I'd like it to
complete all of them. Bonus points will be awarded if you can work
out an intelligent way to handle globbing patterns, e.g.
Host *.example.net *.example.com
Port 443
I had a look at /etc/bash_completion.d/ssh, but it was written in such
an abstract way that I think I'd have to understand large parts of the
main /etc/bash_completion script in order to solve this myself.
