Since you are asking...I have a suggestion since I've used bash-completion for a few years: - make it modular (perhaps depending on environment variables?) why? Because some completions take a lot of time to load, as has already been mentioned. If users could select what modules they use and only load those...startup would be much faster. Example use that I imagine: $ cat ~/.bashrc1 # for people who care BASH_COMP_MODULES="git svn fedpkg mock" $ cat ~/.bashrc2 # for those that don't care BASH_COMP_MODULES="ALL" I know this would need release notes because it would change behaviour of the package (after installing b-c now we get all completions, after this change we'd get none enabled). Would this be a problem? Gentoo is solving bash_completion performance problems this way (using their custom config tool). This could be distribution-agnostic way to do it I guess. Or maybe I am completely wrong. One way or the other I don't think bash-completion belongs into base system, reasons were already given I guess so I won't repeat them. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com
