Bug 264714 – app-shells/bash-completion-20081219-r1 is broken for killall when command name is >15 characters

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nikoli 2009-04-02 22:21:13 UTC]

app-shells/bash-completion-20060301 could autocomplete long (>15) command names in killall:
"killall cons<TAB>" became "killall console-kit-daemon" with version 20060301, but now it shows "killall console-kit-dae" and I can kill this task only after typing "killall cons<TAB>mon"

p.s. I have:
app-shells/bash-3.2_p39
app-shells/bash-completion-20081219-r1
app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp-20050516

Reproducible: Always

pnames backport

It looks as though upstream has gone through a lot of break and fix cycles when it comes to grabbing the names of the running processes. This patch backports the process name handling from the current upstream live tree.

I think it works now in v1.0. Please reopen or contact me if I am wrong. You will have to "downgrade" to get 1.0.

My test that worked:
%% echo "sleep 600" >> reallllllylongnameeee.sh 
%% bash reallllllylongnameeee.sh
%% killall rea<tab>

Thank you, Jeremy! killall now works fine with:
app-shells/bash-3.2_p39
app-shells/bash-completion-1.0
