Subject: please add bash completion

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.15
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,
I made a completion for lintian, please include it in the next release. You
should install this file as /etc/bash_completion.d/lintian -- I made a dh
helper, dh_bash-completion, but seems like it's currently broken, so you still
have to install it manually.

Thank you,
David

Thank you very much for this!

I'm going to completely forget to update this file for additional checks
or collection scripts.  Is there any way, in bash completion rules, to
make the completion of those arguments be based on the files installed in
/usr/share/lintian/{checks,collection} instead?

You're welcome :)

There is, but I couldn't find anywhere where the "aliases" are defined, i.e.
"chg" for "changelog-file", for instance. Could you give me a pointer?

Those aren't, unfortunately.  I think they're of somewhat questionable
utility, though.

I'd be good with either listing the aliases manually and combining that
with the file names or just having the file names available.  I suspect
most people will use the file names anyway, and I wonder from time to time
if we should just drop the aliases, although that means breaking backward
compatibility.  If you list the aliases, I'll try to remember to update
them, but I think missing some will be less important than missing a whole
class of checks if I forget.

Raphael told me on IRC they are in the .desc files, and indeed they are :):

$ grep ^Abbrev /usr/share/lintian/checks/*.desc | cut -d\  -f2

I can now provide aliases. *But*, since lintian options only accept
comma-separated lists, this is a bit harder to achieve. I asked help to other
bashcomp team members to see whether they have ever done something like that.

Also, we're probably going to change plans about pushing completions to
respective upstreams -- that would cause maintainance headaches to us (or no
maintainance at all!), so we'll probably change our decision.

So, I'll try to fix the completion and I'll eventually provide one (even with
limited capabilities, better than nothing), but I'm reassigning the bug to
bash-completion until we definitely decide where to put completions :)

Sorry for the noise ;)
David
