Hi people,
Elan (CCed) posted on IRC a few patches from PLD Linux.
I've applied two out of four (a third one was useless), so only a fourth
remains to be applied. I'm here asking help to RPM guys, because this is a bit
more invasive than others :)
Here's the patch:
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/packages/bash-completion/bash-completion-rpm-cache.patch
These are the comments from Elan:
22:27 <glen_> the rpm patch adds more explicit names to expand, so you could
tell to uninstall i686 package even if you have x86_64 package
installed aside
22:27 <glen_> and current rpm (in major distros) can understand names with
version + arch
22:30 <glen_> for the /var/cache/rpmpkgs.txt
22:30 <glen_> vs /var/log/rpmpkgs it should be one path likely if redhat would
follow the FHS and use filename in cache dir not in log dir
22:30 <glen_> but that's very unlikely to happen
Elan, you're welcome to join the discussion. If the patch is ok, Ville or
Guillaume please apply it :)
The patches actually changes 3 things:
1) it uses an additional /var/cache/hrmib, which seems to be jbj-version
specific, if available
2) it forces refreshing the dumped package list if writable
3) it changes the format of completed package names
1 and 3 are OK for me.
I'm more reserved about 2, tough. /var/log/rpmpkgs is not really a bash
completion specific file, rather some daily dump of the package
database. I don't think it really hurt to rebuild it, but so far
completions never changed the system state. Anyway, this cache
refreshing should only occurs if cache is outdated (in the else part of
the last test), not everytime you complete on package list.
