[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#574950: avahi-browse makes ssh completion very slow on large LANs

[Chris Jones]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-3

I'm running an Ubuntu laptop on a LAN with ~150 devices that announce as
workstations, and the avahi-browse command used by /etc/bash-completion
takes around 5 seconds to complete. This is quite frustrating if you ssh
a lot!

Would it be possible please to revert this feature, or at least somehow
wrap it in a *very* strict timeout?

Cheers,
