Hi. The ebuild installs /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pass-otp This file is not a stand-alone bash-completer but adds functions to the existing pass completer. It needs to be installed to /etc/bash_completion.d/pass-otp in order to function correctly. This can be fixed by removing BASHCOMPDIR="$(get_bashcompdir)" from the emake call or by replacing it with BASHCOMPDIR="/etc/bash_completion.d" - which is the upstream default. Alex
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions is the default install location for packages. Istead of moving the file to some location whereit is not supposed to be installed by portage, the completion file should be fixed to work independently from its location.
Hi Lars, sorry, I thought /etc/bash_completion.d is valid location, as app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp installs its gentoo-style-init there too. pass-otp is not a bash-completion script but only a function definition to be used by the bash-completion script. I don't think bash-completion can handle multiple completers for a single command (here: "pass"). Feel free to close this. Alex
I ran into this exact problem. I have an Artix machine also running pass-otp. It installs the very same bash completion file (as also to be found upstream), and it puts it in /etc/bash_completion.d/. On Artix, it works out of the box, in contrast to the ebuild's approach. As pass-otp is a pass plugin and the completion is also only an extension to the existing pass completion definition, I think this one can't live on it's own by defintion, as it's not a complete completion file -- the "otp" part is only a new "pass" parameter, so I don't think it would be even possible to have a stand-alone completion definition, is it?! The fact that bash completion itself sources /etc/bash_completion.d/ and "pass otp" completion works as soon as the upstream file is put there leaves the impression to me that, in fact, /etc/bash_completion.d/ _is_ a standard place to put this very "plugin" type of definitions. Would be nice if this was fixed. IMO this is not an upstream issue, but a Gentoo downstream one.
Created attachment 870013 [details] Fixed ebuild for app-admin/pass-otp-1.2.0
Looks like the original maintainer of this ebuild (marked as "retired") won't (or can't) fix this. Is anybody else willing to push the fix? It's quite trivial, and my tweaked ebuild fixes a broken major feature. Would be nice if the fixed ebuild would make it into portage.
The maintainer is not the person who wrangled the bug (who is now retired). The standard location for _system_ completions is /usr/share. The user can put their own in /etc. That said, I have no idea how the fact that it's a plugin/extension and that it can't work independently factors in here. It might then be tolerable for it to be in /etc. mgorny?
As a short term solution, I suppose compatdir is fine. For a long term solution, I think it'd be best if pass completion actually supported looking for other completion files to load. Right now it seems that they will be preloaded for it. Perhaps it could either use a dedicated directory for its own completions. CC-ing zx2c4.
gcc14_tinderbox has reproduced this issue with version 1.2.0-r1 - Updating summary.
