Bug 139740 – baselayout-1.12.1 does not configure app-shells/bash-completion

• Status: VERIFIED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nicolas Boichat 2006-07-09 02:24:07 UTC]

app-shells/bash-completion creates this file: /etc/profile.d/bash-completion (without .sh in the end), to configure bash completion.

However, this file is never sourced, as in /etc/profile you have this code:
for sh in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
	if [ -r "$sh" ] ; then
		. "$sh"
	fi
done

(so only *.sh files are sourced)

Two possibilities to fix this bug:
 - Either modify /etc/profile:
-for sh in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
+for sh in /etc/profile.d/* ; do

 - Or, probably easier, rename /etc/profile.d/bash-completion to /etc/profile.d/bash-completion.sh .

Kindly read the postinstall info that's provided by bash-completion.
