I'll *not* remove that as this will load automatically completions for the commands used. Otherwise this will cause a reopen of bug #821411.

OK but wouldn't it be "completion broken for any command" vs. "missing a few particular completions". IMO adding particular completions should not break other ones.

No it is not as such would heavily increase the startup time of the bash as there are a huge number of files. Most of them are provided by packages which do provide their own completion for tool in the package.

This *is* a job for a complete function for rsync as the bash default not the readline default will not do this (AFAIK).

Hmmm ... if you want to have plain TAB completion you may add complete -r in ~/.bashrc ... on the other hand if one of the completion below /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ does bother then run rpm -qf /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/<file> the see the package and open a bug against this package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No it's not rsync related. Colon is a standard path separator in UNIX. It works as expected in default bash setup. It always worked in openSUSE <= 12.3.

...

... on the other hand if one of the completion below

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/

does bother then run

rpm -qf /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/<file>

the see the package and open a bug against this package.

It's too much work for me. Since 13.1 I see so many little but annoying problems ... that's why I want to try to get only the basic things fixed here. I was thinking about this since 2 months whether it's worth to start writing bug reports or better to use my own bashrc and profile from scratch (probably getting a lot other kind of problems). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So, if you want to change it, please send another pull request to osc. IMHO the completion can never work really without the context, the PATH seperator list (all : are seperators) is different to rsync (only first : is a seperator), osc (none are seperators) or any URL completion (first one of protocol is seperator, second one may be port seperator or belongs to path depending on the place). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Do you know how COMP_WORDBREAKS works? You can not select COMP_WORDBREAKS based on the command you're currently using. This variable is readline specific: COMP_WORDBREAKS The set of characters that the readline library treats as word separators when performing word completion. If COMP_WORDBREAKS is unset, it loses its special properties, even if it is subsequently reset. that is it work for all commands *before* the completion of the bash its self will work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But I'm not the right person to revert this upstream. However osc users (like me) want to work around the colon issues. Just installing the osc rpm package must not break the better default systemwide for all users. BTW the usefulness of osc completion scripts is debatable anyway. IMO it would be better to provide the files as they are but not to source them per default.

If you agree i can submit it. For osc upstream I would suggest to do this whenever there is time for it: 1. Add configurable disable/enable network usage. 2. Add configurable project completion because even cached it may be too slow for some user's taste. 3. Fix for users without osc account (check ~/.oscrc). Note, because we have to check ~/.oscrc anyway it could be a good place to add other completion options there. 4. Let the whole thing work without touching COMP_WORDBREAKS (maybe it does already!?). I guess you removed ":" only to have more comfortable usage of coreutils within the osc checkouts. Actually this has nothing to do with the osc completion itself. 5. Add cronjob to refresh project cache asynchronously. 6. If the slow show stoppers are disabled by default and does not affect non-osc related completions then you could move it back to. /etc/profile.d/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851908 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851908#c23 --- Comment #23 from Adrian Schröter 2013-12-19 12:25:23 UTC --- Yes, but the problem here is at least an inconsistant behaviour. If it can not detect the string to expand and just does nothing, well, fine. But here it does detect string correctly (not using : as seperator), but it does replace it wrong (using : as seperator). This is definitive an inconsistant behaviour of bash (or it's completion scripts) itself. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ahmm ... this is the libreadline *before* the completion or a completion script or completion shell function of the bash tries to handle this!

However zsh is able to do it way better. On the other hand colons are still one of the most evil characters for file names. They are IMO even worse than spaces or tabs. For example usually you can't build automake/libtool based tar balls if their absolute path contains a colon. Because such paths can't be used in $PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc.. Moreover this is really unlucky because osc working copies usually contain such source tar balls and it would be very natural to untar and build them locally where they are. Another use case would be getbinaries, unrpm, PATH=xyz to try something out quickly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
