Disclaimer: this bug has been filed in a semi-automated manner. When emerging the package app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp-20101217-r1, the following elog messages are displayed: * To enable command-line completion for gentoo-bashcomp, run: * * eselect bashcomp enable gentoo * * to install locally, or * * eselect bashcomp enable --global gentoo * * to install system-wide. (and/or repoman instead of gentoo if you use * repoman frequently) Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install. These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows: if ! has_version 'app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp'; then See the tracker bug 440214 for more details.
It should behave like new bash-completion-r1.eclass and not show any message like this (also, would be interesting if ebuild could state why this cannot use such eclass ;))
now relies on eclass for that
