Hello Guillaume, I've moved ./helpers to ./completions/helpers so that bash_completion can be run directly from a git clone and the test suite runs without errors, closing Alioth #312729, awaiting a final setup. I'm not sure if the configure/make process is still running fine... you'll probably have to test/fix it. The remaining error reported by the test suite however, was that perldoc option-completion is now missing; it's not in the pure perl perldoc completion helper, whereas the code underneath was in the bash perldoc completion: - if [[ "$cur" == -* ]]; then - COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W '-C -s -T -u -U -W -X -h -v -V -c -w -d \ - -D -p -n -a -F -l -0 -I -m -M -P -S -x -i -e ' -- "$cur" ) ) Are you aware of that? Anyway, I removed the test case from the test suite for now. I'm reading up on autotools and I see how it can be useful. Point is that currently users aren't aware they should use configure/make to install bash-completion. Shall we put "supporting autotools for installing bash-completion" on the roadmap so that we can focus on documenting and autotest this when it's due, before or after the 2.0 release? To indicate some intricacies: I had to run `autogen.sh', otherwise I received: $ autoreconf configure.ac:3: required file `./install-sh' not found configure.ac:3: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh' configure.ac:3: required file `./missing' not found configure.ac:3: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing' autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 Regards, Freddy Vulto http://fvue.nl _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
