Bash Completion

We're currently working to get bash-completion at its best.

This is what we plan to do in the near future:

• merge upstream, Ubuntu and Debian versions together;
• become upstream;
• make a better homepage (you really want it, don't you? ;) ).

Please join #bash-completion on irc.debian.org if you want any information. There you'll probably find luk__ (Luk Claes) or hanska (David Paleino), who might give you some more information about the ongoing status of the project.

You could also want to have a look at some notes written down during the development process.

Download

To download the current development version of bash-completion, you need to checkout a bzr branch:

• if you have an Alioth account, with write access to the bash-completion project, use this command:
  

  $ bzr checkout sftp://<username>@bzr.debian.org/bzr/bash-completion/current bash-completion

• if you just want a read-only copy:
  

  $ bzr checkout http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/bash-completion/current bash-completion

Reporting bugs

Please report any bug/wishlist/anything you want to the Debian BTS, to the bash-completion package.

Read the instructions on how to report bugs. Here's a quick reference.

If you use a Debian-like system, you might want to use reportbug, since it creates mails with the right format accepted by the Debian BTS. Its usage is simple:

1. if you're using Debian, after installing it, run:
   

   $ reportbug bash-completion

2. if you're using a Debian-based system, after installing it, run:
   

   $ reportbug --bts debian bash-completion

3. if you're using another distribution, or none of the above methods worked for you, please send a formatted email to submit@bugs.debian.org. The mail must have the following format:
   

   Package: bash-completion
   Version: x.y.z
   Severity: normal
   
   Here goes your message.
   

   
   Obviously, you must substitute the above "x.y.z" with the version you're referring to, and the Severity must be one of those described in Debian's technical documentation. It can be one of: critical, grave, serious, important, does-not-build, normal, minor or wishlist.
