I vaguely remember a discussion on r-core where the consensus was that this was too shell-specific to belong in the R sources. It has been publicly available (for a long time) at http://code.google.com/p/rcompletion/source/browse/trunk/bash_completion/R (could use a little work now). -Deepayan > > Dirk > > -- > Gauss once played himself in a zero-sum game and won $50. > -- #11 at http://www.gaussfacts.com > > __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

This started off via a suggestion by Deepayan and a quick install via a local-to-Debian-package-sources file, and has never moved away from that. I am CCing Deepayan now; it may indeed be useful to commit this in the R svn and to add it to the tarball as the feature is very, very useful if you deplay bash completion.

[Rd] Source for bash_completion.d/R?
Hello, I was just tweaking the R build for the Homebrew package manager and I thought it would be nice to enable bash completion. I noticed that Debian-based systems install `/etc/bash_completion.d/R` but could not find a source for this file in the `etc` folder of the R source. Is the R bash completion script publicly available somewhere so that it could be pulled in by curl? - Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Source-for-bash-completion-d-R-tp3490662p3490662.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
