Subject: bash-completion: /etc/bash_completion script doesn't do the job.

Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:01:54 +0100

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.90-1
Severity: normal

Hi !

When using the experimental bash-completion package, I noticed that the
completion wouldn't work anymore when using the code snippet found in
the default /etc/bash.bashrc, which refers to /etc/bash_completion.

I assume that at some point, the bash package will update this location
to point to /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion, but in the mean
time, I think it would be better if the /etc file would be dropped, or
at least be changed into a symlink to the /usr/share. This way, the
point of break would be more evident.

Since the package doing the breaking is in experimental, I did not file
a bug report for the bash package itself, I hope it is OK ?

Best regards,

Simon

Ok, I'll use a symlink. I totally forgot to drop /etc/bash_completion. Sorry
for the noise.

Bash maintainers: the new bash-completion location is
at /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion . Please update the files of your
package (bash.bashrc, but there may be others) to reflect the new location. TIA!

Kindly,
David

Changes: 
 bash (4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Apply upstream patches 025 - 029, fixes for
     - When used in a shell function, `declare -g -a array=(compound assignment)'
       creates a local variable instead of a global one.
     - The `lastpipe' option does not behave correctly on machines where the
       open file limit is less than 256.
     - When the `extglob' shell option is enabled, pattern substitution does not
       work correctly in the presence of multibyte characters.
     - When using a word expansion for which the right hand side is evaluated,
       certain expansions of quoted null strings include spurious ^? characters.
     - Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
       without expanding them to a full pathname.  One effect of this is that
       shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left
       unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special
       character to the shell. This patch introduces two things:
       - A new shell option, `direxpand', which, if set, attempts to emulate the
         bash-4.1 behavior of expanding words to full pathnames during
         completion;
       - A set of heuristics that reduce the number of times special characters
         such as `$' are quoted when the directory name is not expanded.
   * Mark bash and bash-static as Multi-Arch: foreign . Closes: #674120.
   * Avoid warning for unset debian_chroot with -u (Marko Mäkelä).
     Closes: #659940.
   * Fix string expansion: \u and \U for code points U+0080 to U+00FF (Darran
     Salt). Closes: #661386.
   * Search $- for `i' for the interactivity test. Closes: #482194.
   * Search for bash_completion in /usr/share/bash-completion too.
     Closes: #655071, #655208.
