I have a little problem with bash completion. It works pretty well except for one thing; if I enable some "module" with one of the two following commands: eselect bashcomp enable gentoo bash-completion-config --install gentoo and then I issue: source ~/.bashrc changes takes effect immediately, but if I disable some "module" instead, with one of the two following commands: eselect bashcomp disable gentoo bash-completion-config --uninstall gentoo and then I issue: source ~/.bashrc changes doesn't take effect, and I have to logout and login again. Is there a better command for changes to take effect immediately or perhaps it is a bug?

This is due to the way that completion functions and file sourcing are handled in bash. I really can't think of any way around this. Sorry :\. Only thing I can tell you is to run: unset _scriptname where scriptname is the script you just removed with eselect bashcomp. But, that isn't how all the completion functions are named, so there isn't really a 100% reliable way to do this, so it can't be automated in, say, eselect bashcomp.
