@ -111,6 +111,28 @@ Q. I author/maintain package X and would like to maintain my own completion
at the beginning of the main completion script. Any scripts placed in this
directory will be sourced by interactive bash shells.
Q. I use CVS in combination with passwordless ssh access to my remote
repository. How can I have the cvs command complete on remotely checked-out
files where relevant?
A. Define $COMP_CVS_REMOTE. Setting this to anything will result in the
behaviour you would like.
Q. When I'm running a ./configure script and completion returns a list of
long options to me, some of these take a parameter,
e.g. --this-option=DESCRIPTION.
Running ./configure --help lists these descriptions, but everything after
the '=' is stripped when returning completions, so I don't know what kind
of data is expected as a given option's parameter.
Is there a way of getting ./configure completion to return the entire
option string, so that I can see what kind of data is required and then
simply delete the descriptive text and add my own data?
A. Define $COMP_CONFIGURE_HINTS. Setting this to anything will result in the
behaviour you would like.
Q. This code is rubbish/not bad/pretty good/the best thing since sliced bread.
How can I show my appreciation?
