[gentoo-dev] Time to remove app-shells/bash-completion-config

[gentoo-dev] Time to remove app-shells/bash-completion-config

[Jeremy Olexa]

Hello,
I would like to request that bash-completion-20081218 to be marked
stable by the arches soon here.

In doing so, I'm going to make the following change to bash-completion.eclass:

-RDEPEND="bash-completion?
-               ( || (
-                       app-admin/eselect
-                       app-shells/bash-completion-config
-                       )
-               )"
+RDEPEND="bash-completion? ( app-admin/eselect )"

We should only be using eselect now to enable bash-completion. I think
bash-completion-config is broken now anyway
(https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253878). So, after this
change, I will p.mask b-c-c for removal.

Any concerns? The upgrade path in the future is going to be wierd as
upstream is releasing v1.0 soon, but that is not concern for now.
Thanks,
Jeremy

if I type:

 eselect bashcomp enable [TAB]

I get a 'Killed' string printed to terminal:

 eselect bashcomp enable Killed

and it messes up the bash shell (i.e. history doesn't work anymore)

This is not a fault of bash-completion but rather the eselect
bash-completion module itself. Since our eselect team is defunct, I
will mask the bash-completion USE flag for app-admin/eselect unless
someone steps up to take care of it (working patches exist, anyone?).
Analogy: If subversion's bash-completion module was broken, it
wouldn't block anything to do with app-shells/bash-completion. Instead
you would work it out with upstream.

Also: *enabling* bash-completion modules via eselect works just fine.
So, I don't get why this reply was needed on this thread.

*cough* fixed in eclectic *cough*

Unfortunately Cardoe hasn't followed through on his plans to move
Gentoo over...

Done. Use app-admin/eselect to enable bash completion modules.
