Subject: bash-completion: dh_bash-completion still installs files in /etc/bash_completion

Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:07:29 +0200

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.99-3
Severity: minor

Hi,

It seems that dh_bash-completion is still installing files in
/etc/bash_completion.

On my system /etc/bash_completion points to
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion. Shouldn't dh_bash-completion
install the files directly into
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion?

Cheers

Laurent Bigonville

Hi,

What's the status of this bug?

The Debian README is reading:

 Completions are kept in /usr/share/bash-completions/completions.

 /etc/bash_completion.d/ is being kept for compatibility reasons; but will
 disappear in future. If you're a package maintainer, you're encouraged to
 use dh_bash-completion(1), which will take care of installing third-party
 completions into the appropriate directory.

but dh_bash-completion is still installing the files
under /etc/bash_completion.d/.

Cheers

Hi,

is there any plan to finally change this?

Once the completion scripts are installed to /usr/share/..., all
packages that used to install to /etc/bash_completion.d also need to get
rid of the outdated conffile, for example by using
dpkg-maintscript-helper's rm_conffile. As this needs to know the last
version that included the conffile, this needs manual changes to the
involved packages :/

The ‘README/Debian’ document still reads as above.

The ‘dh_bash-completion’ still installs to ‘/etc/bash_completions.d/’.

One or both are wrong. Which needs to be corrected? What is the plan
to fix this?

/etc/bash_completion.d was just added to the obsolete paths in lintian [1].
See also #776954.

Hello

Please consider mass filling bug reports when you upload a fixed version:

See Ansgar note about conffiles at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668254#17

Moreover, I had to remove all the "have(xxx) &&" prefixes for the
completions to work in the new folder. Posting a tip would be nice.

Thanks

Package: bash-completion
Followup-For: Bug #668254

Hello,

Lintian Bug #776954 "warn about /etc/bash_completion.d" has been
merged, so lintian now warns when a bash completion snippet is installed
in /etc/bash_completion.d rather than /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/.

However, dh_bash-completion (from bash-completion) still install bash completion
snippets in /etc/bash_completion.d

Could you update dh_bash-completion to install the snippet in the proper
location, or prompt lintian maintainer to disable that warning until
it's fixed.

Thanks,

Frank lin Piat
