[gentoo-user] bash-completion change?

As of bash-completion-2.1-r1 it appears the eselect module is gone and the
use of /etc/bash-completion.d is dead. Does this mean that all completions
are enabled globally by default now? It used to be that you could turn each
individual one on/off either globally or per user. Anyone know what the new
'one true way' is here?

There are a few bugs regarding this issue, for example: 472938, 476992 and 
477214. If I understand things correctly, all installed modules are enabled, 
but they're loaded "on-demand" (I guess this means the first time they're 
used, but I'm not sure). The way suggested in one of these bugs to have a 
working autocompletion is to source /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion 
from you .bashrc file.

I agree w/ the user in 477214. This is completely broken. And the lack of
notice to the user post-emerge on how to set things up 'the new way' is
infuriating. Guess I'll add this to my 'check back in 6 months to see if
they've got it sorted' list

Thanks Stefano

I agree with you about the lack of a post-emerge message! I spent at least one 
hour the other day trying to understand why suddenly bash completion wasn't 
working anymore. I think all of this is still a work in progress, however, 
since the eselect package still installs the man page for the bashcomp module 
(bashcomp.eselect)!

As others pointed out, you now need to:

   source /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

in your ~/.bashrc.  However, you also need to clean out anything in 
/etc/bash_completion.d/ and then:

   ln -s /usr/share/bash-completion/gentoo /etc/bash_completion.d/

Otherwise, completion for Gentoo stuff (like "emerge") will not be 
available.

Although I have a number of files and one subdirectory in
/usr/share/bash-completion, I have neither
   /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
   /usr/share/bash-completion/gentoo

Presumably I have forgotten to turn something on; would you know what?

You probably forgot to re-emerge all packages that provide bash 
completion files:

   emerge -av1 \$(qfile -q -S -C /usr/share/bash-completion)

This is actually printed by app-shells/bash-completion when emerging it. 
If you don't do that, all the completion files are in the wrong 
directory. And yes, it will probably re-emerge *a lot* of packages, so 
you might want to do that while you're AFK.

I'm still stumped about what this change is for or what it does.
And I've read all the bugs, all the posts here - still stumped.

I get a sense that it somehow has something to do with

make the ebuild $MORE_CLOSELY resemble the $BEHAVIOUR of $UPSTREAM_DEFAULT

Note the variables :-)

Is is portage 2.2 only? I don't have anything with portage 2.1 installed

Works with 2.1 from ~arch too. And it has for a while now; it's just 
something I used only once or twice and tend to forget about it.
