Subject: completion of usernames broken

Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:30:53 +0100

Package: bash-completion
Version: 20080705
Severity: normal

Hi.

Completion of usernames is broken and "\: " or \ is inserted
e.g.
chown cuser\:  (space at the end)
chown calestyo\\\:calestyo
etc. etc.

Completion of users/groups with a "." (which is widely used at big  
sites like firstname.secondname) and perhaps with other strange  
characters is even more broken ^^

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi, thanks for supplying bash-completion package and for the working bug 
fix.
However I see a side effect, which I don't know if it is a feature or not ?

Before this fix when trying to complete a command like "chown us[tab]" 
it was completing, if a user "username" existing,  with "chown 
username\: " thus, as the bug report mentioned, adding a 
slash+vertical-dots+space at the end
Since this fix, there is only a space added, wich is correcting the 
reported bug

However, before the fix, if you backspace deleted the extra, and then 
typed a dot "." and then triggering [tab] completion again, it would 
complete with available groups like for example from "chown 
username.group[tab]" to "chown username.groupname"
Since the fix, there is not anymore groupname completion

I don't know if it is intended, as maybe it is solutioning the "stange 
character" from initial bug report, but personally I miss now the 
groupname completion...

cheers and thanks again

Usergroup completion has been improved indeed, but the dot isn't
supported anymore, see:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org/msg01515.html

Instead of typing a dot, you can type a colon ':' and then trigger [tab]
completion again.
