Hi.

Since the most recent upload in sid, bash-completion does no longer to
~username completion (to homedirectories).

Cheers,
Chris.

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.2-3
Severity: normal

Beside bumping this up, I would like to notice, it's not that simple as
'it does not work'. Considering root home directory completion (we all
have root user, right?):

$ ~ro<tab> # does work just fine - it gets completed into ~root
$ ls ~ro<tab> # something is wrong here. You can press <tab> to your
  death, and it won't get completed

So it does work, but not when completing argument for command (what
perhaps most users would want to do).

Cheers
Mirosław Zalewski

Probably it's due to a change between
e5a9b6220e93ca656fd9774c6aefa78241edca6f and
f9748115fb4b2950fb4df7535fb723c4affde078 commits in the repo[1]. In
particular some changes to the bash_completion file.

Earlier in the _filedir there was:
_expand || return 0
now it looks like this:
__expand_tilde_by_ref cur



I would like to propose a patch (attached).
