Turn it on dynamically when needed instead; see doc/styleguide.txt for
a longer explanation. This fixes many non-filename completions which
had been previously more or less broken due to unwanted
escape-as-filenames behavior.
_usergroup now has a -u option, and there are new _allowed_users and
_allowed_groups helpers. These can be used to limit returned users
and/or groups to ones that the user has access to (or should be
assumed to have access to if running a "root command").
I had to remove a couple of "funky user" chown test cases because for
some reason they were broken by this change, I didn't immediately find
out why, and I couldn't come up with a valid use case that should be
supported for them that would be more beneficial than the relevance
improvements in this patch.
This effectively turns off avahi-browse by default; doing it by
default is not worth it compared to the number of various (mostly
slowness) problems it has caused people, for example Alioth #312691
and RedHat #630326.
Mandriva has applied a similar patch for some time already, although
their environment variable name was different ($COMP_AVAHI_BROWSE).
This provides a bit of case insensivity to file extension matching,
allowing for example _filedir foo to match both *.foo and *.FOO. Note
that this is not real case insensivity; mixed case extensions like
*.FOO.gz are not matched by _filedir foo.gz so those need to be
handled like before this change.
Used `type compopt' instead of `compopt' to detect availability of
compopt because (at least on Ubuntu) a python-command-not-found handler
is started when issuing a non-existing command, thus resulting in
considerable slower completions on systems without compopt (bash < 4.0).
This fixes tilde completion when doing for instance `ls ~<TAB>'. See
also: Alioth #312613.
Added _tilde() helper function.
Contrary to _expand() and __expand_tilde_by_ref(), _tilde() also leaves the
tilde (~) intact. Replacement of the tilde has been a complaint in other
bugreports, especially since plain bash completion (without bash-completion
installed) doesn't expand the tilde when doing a `ls ~<TAB>'.
To run the tests:
./run completion/ls.exp
./run unit/_tilde.exp
