 Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2002 10:29 pm Post subject: bash-completion ?? |
 |
|
After just emerging bash-completion and following the instructions at the very end to add the line to my .bashrc file, it's a no go
Upon closer inspection of what got installed, the /etc/profile.d/bash-completion file referes to a file called /etc/bash_completion which doesnt exist at all. There is however a /etc/bash_completion.d/ directory which has some custom completions for portage. This file is not refered to from anywhere....
Is this package working !??! Oddly enough a search for bash AND completion on these forums yields 0 results ?? |

I have bash-completion (version 20020624) installed and working fine. I do have a file in /etc called bash_completion. I also have a directory in /etc called bash_completion.d/, which contains the Gentoo-specific completions you mentioned. The files in the bash_completion.d/ directory are sourced by the file /etc/bash_completion.
I would try unmerging, and then merging again, bash-completion. |

Did you remember to put the following in your ~/.bashrc:
| Code: |
[ -f /etc/profile.d/bash-completion ] && source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion

The problem is that the ebuild trys to install some files (which DO exist in the downloaded file and DO get unpacked into the /var/tmp/portage working direcoty) that it for some reason cant.
Just did another emerge --clean rsync and it seemed to pull in another ebuild for bash-completion but with the same results ...
Any suggestions? |

| Did you already try to "rm -rf /usr/portage/distfiles/bash-completion* /var/tmp/portage/bash-completion*" to force it to re-download and unpack the bash-completion archive again? |

Removing the bash-completion tarball won't do anything, because Portage will refuse to unpack if the download was corrupted in any way. The /var/tmp/portage/ directory, on the other hand, might have something to do with it.

| eh... just tied. Did another emerge --clean rsync which correctly pulled in the files that were removed by me but still the same results ... I tried playing with the directories within the ebuild but still cannot get it to find those files. Im just not familiar enough with the ebuild system to look any further than that .... |
