Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Nobody (None) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Proposal for cmake command bash completion. Distribution: --Distribution-Agnostic-- Originally reported in: None Milestone: None Status: None Original bug number: Initial Comment: There is no bash completion for the cmake (http://www.cmake.org) I propose one attached to this bug report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Igor Murzov (garik-guest) Date: 2012-02-17 20:08 Message: The biggest problem with external completions is that they need to be tested somehow. And if some changes in bash-completion break some external completions, no one will notice. I don't mind including cmake completion if Eric will maintain the completion and it is convenient for him to have completion in bash-completion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eric NOULARD (erk-guest) Date: 2010-08-21 11:42 Message: No I'm not that sure. The things is I had the impression that most of the bash completions were shipped with bash-completion itself. I may ship cmake completion with cmake it's not a problem. I may only want to avoid depending on bash-completion in order to be able to install cmake, but I guess I can check for bash completion at install time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ville Skyttä (scop-guest) Date: 2010-08-21 10:48 Message: Are you sure you want this included in bash-completion? In my opinion, it is preferable to ship upstream completions in the upstream package rather than bash-completion; that way the completions have a much better chance of being up to date with the actual upstream software than if it was in bash-completion. Just drop the file in /etc/bash_completion.d when installing cmake. If you want to take advantage of utilities in bash-completion without depending on it, you can test for existence of the functions you'd like to use before using them and fall back to some other local (perhaps simple/less featureful) implementation if they're not found. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eric NOULARD (erk-guest) Date: 2010-08-20 21:33 Message: http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Docs/cmake-completion;h=011f3fa93be3ac38b657b0f31a17291d32f7043b;hb=HEAD The most up-to date cmake-completion file may be found in upstream CMake repository. I am maintaining the file. I really would like to see this go upstream in bash-completion but I haven't had any contact for this now. Am I doing something wrong? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eric NOULARD (erk-guest) Date: 2010-07-27 16:29 Message: There an update here. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/bash-completion-devel/2010-July/002923.html I did not have an alioth account when filing the bug, I now have one. May be someone may authorize me (erk-guest) to add attachment in order to put the updates directly here? What is the best way to go 1) for having cmake completion shipped with bash-completion 2) for updating my proposal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=312632&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
