How can I insert my own local completions without having to reinsert them every time you issue a new release? A. Put them in ~/.bash_completion, which is parsed at the end of the main completion script. And indeed, if you read the source code at /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion, you'll see that it first applies its own completions, and then sources the user's ~/.bash_completion. However, openSUSE's /etc/bash.bashrc overrides this behaviour. That script first checks for ~/.bash_completion, and executes it if present. Only if it is *not* present does it run /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion (via /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh). This makes it impossible for the user to specify additional completions in accordance with the bash-completion manual. If he tries to do so, none of the "official" completions get loaded. Reproducible: Always I attach a patch for /etc/bash.bashrc which puts the test for ~/.bash_completion after the one for /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh. This solves the problem in my case. I note, however, that /etc/bash.bashrc checks for a lot of other scripts here (/etc/bash_completion and /etc/profile.d/complete.bash) which on a stock openSUSE 12.3 system should never exist in the first place. I'm not sure why these tests exists -- perhaps for backward compatibility? -- 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.
