Bash completion fails to correctly address ebuilds in ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}. In addition, I would add esearch to the gentoo-completion, it could easily be added without modifications as the _emerge function. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I'll see about adding portdir support. As far as esearch goes, _emerge would make no sense... emerge has tons of more options. Also, it doesn't make any sense to do package name completion with esearch since it's a search string/regex. I wouldn't mind writing one that simply does esearch's command-line options, but that's something that should be included with esearch itself not in gentoo-bashcomp.
Well, it might be overkill and technically incorrect to use _emerge, I just did a quick hack, and it seemed to work for me. As far as esearch goes, at least for me, the primary use is to bring up packet information _quick_.
PORTDIR_OVERLAY support added. Will be available next release. I'm thinking about breaking gentoo-bashcomp out into its own ebuild, since I release a lot more often that the previous maintainer(s). If so, I'll probably wait until then to close this bug.
What comes into mind is to do that, and make gentoo-bash-completion a run-time dependency with a use flag for bash-completion. That way people will get both from only installing bash-completion, but the release cycle could be considerably higher on the gentoo-part. As a counter-argument, the total size of the package is minimal, so theres no real strain connected to a rapid update cycle. Well anyway, just random ranting.
app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp-20050316 is in the tree.
Me happy :)
