>Status: Closed Priority: 3 Submitted By: Alexandre Quessy (alexandrequessy-guest) >Assigned to: Ville Skyttä (scop-guest) Summary: Bash completion should also load files from /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d Distribution: None Originally reported in: None >Milestone: 2.0 >Status: Fix Committed Original bug number: Initial Comment: Hello, In which paths does the bash completion look? By looking at /etc/bash_completion, I think it's only /etc/bash_completion, not /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d That means that my Makefile.am should not install the bash completion file to $(sysconfdir)/bash_completion.d, but rather to /etc/bash_completion.d. (hard-coded) Here is an example from my Toonloop project: completiondir = $(sysconfdir)/bash_completion.d dist_completion_DATA = toonloop That's slightly annoying, because installing from a tarball will override the file from the Debian package, if installed. It would be much nicer if the /etc/bash_completion would also look in the /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d directory. Am I right?

A pkgconfig or somesuch file would still be useful, but for now I suggest checking existence of $(sysconfdir)/bash_completion.d and /etc/bash_completion.d in that order and install to the first dir found. http://git.debian.org/?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=commitdiff;h=2738468ddef169b81f780fffdb86e88e684ad18c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ville Skyttä (scop-guest) Date: 2010-11-01 17:18 Message: You're right, this is kind of a bug. We have a roadmap item for a possible new directory layout for the next release, so things will probably change. Until then, I can only suggest that you hardcode /etc/bash_completion.d as the completion dir instead of using $(sysconfdir)/bash_completion.d It might not be a bad idea to add a pkgconfig *.pc file for bash completion that external completion authors could use to query the completion snippet path(s). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=312795&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
