Description P Purkayastha 2013-08-11 08:04:18 UTC

If PORTDIR is not set in make.conf, then zsh-completion does not complete the package names. I have been able to trace the issue back to the absence of the PORTDIR variable from /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals, which zsh-completion uses. A simple patch which uses portageq as a final option is attached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge zsh-completion && exec zsh
2. emerge <tab>
Actual Results:  
Only packages from local overlays are completed.

Expected Results:  
All package names should be completed.

Attached patch fixes the bug by using

portageq envvar PORTDIR

Just an update - using portageq slows down the completion but it will probably never fail. If you want faster completion, then just define PORTDIR in /etc/portage/make.conf.

fixed yesterday in zsh-completions repo on g.o.g.o.
Although, gitweb is unavailable there, and it is not synced with GH mirror...

Should be fixed in the most recent release of the renamed gentoo-zsh-completions now.
