Initial Comment:
Hello,
In which paths does the bash completion look? By looking at /etc/bash_completion, I think it's only /etc/bash_completion, not /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d
That means that my Makefile.am should not install the bash completion file to $(sysconfdir)/bash_completion.d, but rather to /etc/bash_completion.d. (hard-coded)
Here is an example from my Toonloop project:
completiondir = $(sysconfdir)/bash_completion.d
dist_completion_DATA = toonloop
That's slightly annoying, because installing from a tarball will override the file from the Debian package, if installed.
It would be much nicer if the /etc/bash_completion would also look in the /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d directory.
Am I right?
Best regards,
Alexandre Quessy
