In other environments, bash-completion is more of a dumping ground for scripts that (1.) do not live with their upstream, _and_, (2.) also do not live with the distro-level source package for some reason. 12:42 zap:~ # rpm -qf /etc/bash_completion.d/* /usr/share/bash-completion/* | sort -u btrfsprogs-4.3.1-10.1.x86_64 grub2-2.02~beta2-20.14.2.x86_64 gstreamer-1.6.3-65.3.x86_64 kmod-21-0.x86_64 libreoffice-5.0.4.2-28.1.x86_64 util-linux-2.25.1-20.1.x86_64 util-linux-systemd-2.25.1-20.1.x86_64 youtube-dl-2016.03.01-101.1.noarch zypper-1.11.34-1.1.x86_64 [...] Having the completion script in the iptables releases would easily ensure it always trickles down to distros in the same fashion, without distro-level maintainers have to pull it down from $some_random_place. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
