I see on-demand completion loading has hit sid and testing at last -- hooray!
This is something I've been hanging out for, because it takes over two seconds to load the old bash-completion on my netbooks -- long enough that I made dash my login shell, loaded bash explicitly only when I needed completion.[0] Unfortunately my current netbook is a funky ARM thing that is running ubuntu 11.10 until I find time to migrate it to wheezy. Is it feasible to just drop current wheezy bash-completion .deb into an old ubuntu install? I realize it's usually a stupid thing to try, but I suspect bash-completion is fairly isolated and unlikely to break anything. Ubuntu 11.10 ships with bash 4.2 and bash-completion 1:1.3. The Ubuntu-specific patches are pretty minimal (ignoring .pc quilt noise), ref. http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bash-completion.html [0] my cow-orker suggested leaving bash as my default shell, and only loading *bash-completion* on demand, as he does, but by then I'd already gotten using to having a "dumb" login shell :-) _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
