For your own custom-commands, it is usually the best idea to write your own _custom-command completion file for _zsh where you can specify the options and their arguments (and how the option arguments can look like, e.g. whether = is acceptable as an option-argument separator) in detail. For instance, gentoo-zsh-completion does this for most commands of gentoo projects, others like eix bring their own completion files. If you don't, you do not get completion for options but only the generic completion of filenames (in which case = has no magic meaning, of course). I do not want to write completion for every command out there. There is magic_equal_subst option which enables that but also cause harm when using = in other places such as: That's exactly the purpose of magic_equal_subst: To support it for *all* arguments everywhere. no, it also has side unwanted side effects that have nothing to do with completion. I gave the example of: echo xxx==cat I did not press tab and it completes... Usually there is no point to specify this globally. yes there is, most commands that have no specific completion will enjoy --xxx=TAB to complete a file name. You can of course set it locally in a specific completion function, in which you want it (although other completion helper functions like _arguments are usually sufficient to treat = correctly). how? can you give an example? Is there any sequence to enable completion after space without effecting the entire interpreter? After space? I suppose the question you meant is answered above. I was confused, after '=', and I am afraid I do not have an answer. Thanks for your answer! Alon

Alon Bar-Lev alo...@gentoo.org wrote: I do not want to write completion for every command out there. For most commands there already do exist completion functions. Essentially, it is only your own scripts for which you have to do it, and this does not take a lot of time when you write the scripts anyway... In my case, I had to write 11 files (not counting the projects which I had made public for which I wrote completions files, of course, as well). It is a surprisingly low number of commands which one really uses, and the time spent to write a completion was always worth it, in the end... I did not press tab and it completes... This can happen only if you are using something like auto-fu-zsh. The latter is very convenient, but only if you have perfect completion functions for everything. Otherwise it can be very annoying. Usually there is no point to specify this globally. yes there is, most commands that have no specific completion will enjoy --xxx=TAB to complete a file name. Don't do it (trying to enable correct completion for commands without completion files) - it will fail anyway: There is no generic completion which is always right. You might try to write some generic completion functions and assign them to a whole bulk of your commands, but in my experience you are bettter off to spend the time to write correct completions in the first place. how? can you give an example? /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_enjoy: #compdef enjoy _arguments : \ '--file=[use specified file for output]:output file:_files' \ '*:files:_files'

Something is wrong with your repository. The flag is there. I would suggest that you start by disabling any overlays, and run emerge --sync. No overlays are enabled, and 'emerge --sync' doesn't fix the problem. There must be some reason why you have the flag while it's disabled here.

Thanks. The directory is: package.unmask Read man portage. The answer you seek is there. That's for unmasking packages, he wants to unmask USE flags. My previous post got a bit mucked up, set from my phone. to clarify, add a line to /etc/portage/profile/use.mask like this app-emulation/xen-tools -hvm Note the -, you are negating the mask. the syntax if perfectly logical if you think about it with the right kind of logic. It is perfectly logical, it just don't follow the same convention used for masking/unmasking packages. I did look at the man page but I just did a quick search for .unmask Of course, there may be a very good reason why this flag is masked on no-multilib profiles, in which case you will not only see why but get to keep the resulting shrapnel. In this case, judging by the bug report on the ChangeLog, I think the issue was fixed and they forgot to unmask the use flag. -- Fernando Rodriguez
[gentoo-user] Virtualbox-5.0.0 [wow!]
Even while slogging through my painful and ongoing update of perl and friends, I managed to install Virtualbox-5.0.0 and its guest-additions. (Apparently these two packages don't depend on perl at build-time.) I fired up my vbox gentoo guest machine and, of course, I tried to install the 5.0.0 guest additions kernel modules. I got an error message about usb support in the guest kernel, so I disabled guest usb support (temporarily) with the vbox gui, tried again and the guest kernel modules installed with amazing speed. I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing spectacular speed performance with vbox-5.0.0.
