--- Begin Message ---Source: boo Version: 0.9.5~git20110729.r1.202a430-2 Severity: wishlist Justification: unpackaged, bug present in source package Tags: upstream patch Hi, boo's bash completion script overwrites COMP_WORDBREAKS globally, affecting other completion scripts, instead of pasting words together locally using the _get_comp_words_by_ref function (see that function's documentation in /etc/bash_completion for details). Here's a ("git am --scissors"-ready) patch to fix that. Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan -- >8 -- Subject: bash completion: do not overwrite global COMP_WORDBREAKS variable Override its value locally using the "-n" option to the _get_comp_words_by_ref helper instead. This should ensure that other completion scripts are not affected by the change to the list of word-breaking characters. --- extras/boo-completion.bash | 9 +++------ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/extras/boo-completion.bash b/extras/boo-completion.bash index cb367d1c..bdfb3dc6 100755 --- a/extras/boo-completion.bash +++ b/extras/boo-completion.bash @@ -6,9 +6,8 @@ _booc() { local cur - COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:} COMPREPLY=() - cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} + _get_comp_words_by_ref -n : cur if [[ "$cur" == -* ]]; then COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W '-help -v -vv -vvv \ @@ -28,9 +27,8 @@ _booi() { local cur - COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:} COMPREPLY=() - cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} + _get_comp_words_by_ref -n : cur if [[ "$cur" == -* ]]; then COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W '\ @@ -49,9 +47,8 @@ _booish() { local cur - COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:} COMPREPLY=() - cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} + _get_comp_words_by_ref -n : cur if [[ "$cur" == -* ]]; then COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W '\ -- 1.8.3
