Do you still have local improvements that you would like to share? We can work on getting them integrated into the upstream sources, as well as into Debian. Let me know if you still want to do it and how I can help you. Kind regards, Gabriel

Bug#625469: improvements for tar, cryptsetup, imagemagick completions and the _parse_help function
Package: bash-completion Version: 1.2-3 I made several improvements for the bash-completion package. The improved completion for tar is much more thoroughly implemented than the original one from the bash-completion package and almost fully featured, the only thing that may not complete correctly are some suboptions of the multi-volume option -M as I never use it and I don't know how that works. It does proper argument counting and completes accordingly. The improved version of the cryptsetup completion honors options before the action argument and completes on keyslot numbers for actions that uses them and it only completes on usable block devices instead of everything under /dev amongst other improvements. The improved verion of the imagemagick tools completions uses a more flexible approach of getting all of the options than the one in the bash-completion package by replacing most of the static option chunks with dynamic options loading. The improved version of the _parse_help function is backwards drop-in compatible with the one in the bash-completion package version 1.2-3. It creates less processes and works for more completions: bzip2 gcc genisoimage gzip imagemagick k3b lzma lzop make man net-tools pm-utils tar xz everything is in the gzipped tar ball attached to this mail. The _parse_help function is in a diff -u. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
