Bug 395101 – app-text/tree-1.6.0 has wrong bash completion filename

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Laurent Bachelier 2011-12-17 20:40:57 UTC]

The ebuild creates a /usr/share/bash-completion/tree.bashcomp whereas every other file in that directory does not have the bashcomp extension.

This is most likely related to the switch from the bash-completion eclass to bash-completion-r1.

Solution:
replace dobashcomp "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}.bashcomp
by newbashcomp "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}.bashcomp tree

Reproducible: Always

Why does it matter what the file is called?

In eselect bashcomp list, you will see, for instance:

  [183] tcpdump
  [184] tig *
  [185] tree.bashcomp
  [186] udisks *
  [187] unace

It just feels weird an incorrect.



Moreover, with the previous eclass, it was simply named 'tree'; I don't think the change was intentional (the behavior was to use ${PN}, it's not enforced anymore in the newer eclass.)

That reminds me, it's probably better to use:
newbashcomp "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}.bashcomp ${PN}

consistent eselect output is a good argument.  fixed in portage.
