Before reporting a bug I wanted to hear other opinions on that: In bash-completion-r1.eclass, what is the true purpose of bashcomp_alias? For now I only see error messages when trying to "eselect bashcomp enable" two aliases of the same script because of the same linkname. What benefit could one gain in aliasing their completion script to differnet names? In fact I find this confusing and highly contradicting, because you obviously can enable only one alias at the same time, but actually with enabling one you automatically enable all the others, since they are symlinks. Then why even bothering with those aliases? (Actual example: app-text/calibre-1.48-r1, which installs 14 or so aliases to the exact same completion script.) -- Flo
