Subject: Should move ssh completion stuff (etc.) to bash-completion.d/

Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2006 20:14:34 +0300

Package: bash
Version: 3.1-2
Severity: wishlist


The ssh completion stuff should be moved from /etc/bash_completion
to /etc/bash_completion.d/ssh or something like that. That way I can 
load those few useful "advanced" completion features from my .bashrc
that I want, but skip loading the other annoying completions (the 
majority of them), that are trying to be too smart. (E.g. refusing
to complete .bz2 files after 'tar xzf' causes one to extract an old 
version of a package and so on.)

- In Debian, /etc/bash_completion is a config file, so you can edit it
  and it's preserved over upgrades.

- However, it's now a very large config file.

splitting the file into one file per completion might slow down
startup, so maybe another solution is needed? Upstream distributes
bash_completion as one large file, so everthing be done in the
distribution has maintainer overhead. CC'ing Ian, if some solution can
be found.
