I'd say at the moment nothing besides bash-completion itself should be installing files to /usr/share/bash-completion, and I'm not aware of any package that does that. Can you point out some? In its current default configuration, bash_completion does not load any completions from that dir, it loads them from /etc/bash_completion.d. bash-completion contains completions for many commands that may not be installed and "enables" them with rpm triggers by symlinking things to /etc/bash_completion.d to avoid loading stuff that will not be used. Packages that install completions for commands that they ship themselves need not jump through such hoops, they can simply drop their completions to /etc/bash_completion.d. Some of this will quite probably change with the next upstream release, which will also add a pkgconfig file with which packages installing completions can find out the dir to use like "pkg-config --variable=completionsdir bash-completion". Loading files from /etc/bash_completion.d will continue to be supported just like it is now for backwards compatibility, but it is possible that some additional rules (naming etc) how to install files to the path pointed to by the pkgconfig snippet will be established. There will be documentation in the bash-completion package how to do things the right way and I'll post a heads up note here when the details have been figured out. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
