Feature changed by: Susanne Oberhauser (froh) Feature #305803, revision 2 Title: improve command_not_found_helper speed openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Susanne Oberhauser (froh) Description: In the discussion on opensuse-factory [opensuse-factory] issues with command-not-found speed (Message-ID: <20081210084607.GA2988@taygeta>), - I've suggested a different approach: I'd very much prefer bash to tell - me without any delay: Command not found. If this is not a typo, type - "man make-it-work" for help. And then the make-it-work man page will - tell you right away to run "make-it-work commandname' to locate and - install the package providing fancytool. with a little practice you - will go one back in history, prefix your last command with 'make-it- - work ' and have fun... imho the current solution is solving a problem - that doesn't really exist (pretend all software is preinstalled) and - creates a new one (lag). Michal Vyskocil pointed out that such magic - should at least look in /sbin and /usr/sbin and give a usefull message - if the command is found there: command found in /sbin or /usr/sbin. + I've suggested a different approach: + I'd very much prefer bash to tell me without any delay: + Command not found.
