Subject: bash-completion: complete package versions with apt-get install

Date: Sat, 03 Sep 2011 15:01:34 +0200

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

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

apt-get provides a way to install a given package version:
 $ apt-get install package=version

But bash-completion does not handle the completion for these versions. So, if
you do not know the exact version string of your package, you must search it
through apt-cache policy or apt-cache showpkg in a first time.

This patch provides the following behaviour:
 $ apt-get install package=<tab>
will propose the existing versions for package.

It currently relies on apt-cache showpkg syntax, which is quite verbose. Maybe
it would be safer to rely on apt-cache policy, or if you know any other way to
get neat list of package versions.

Control: reassign -1 apt 1.3.1

I'm reassigning this to apt since apt itself provides the bash
completions as of apt 1.3~exp2.

Thanks,

No no, we only provide the 'apt' bash completion, not any other
command - because there was basically no reaction from anyone
responsible for bash completions to the inclusion request.

That said, we could probably take them over, but currently,
this needs to be fixed in both apt-get and apt completions,
which means both packages.

Yes, I had been thinking about filing a separate bug to move those
completions to the apt source.
