1) The best way to get a better idea of what the patch does is to look |
| 2 |
through the patch file, but basically it allows you to complete on |
| 3 |
services in init.d followed by the scripts available commands. After |
| 4 |
looking at bash_completion a little more closely, it seems that service |
| 5 |
completion is a little RedHat specific at the moment, but I'll try to |
| 6 |
come up with a more generic one. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
More precisely, it adds bash_servicename_completion_function (text, |
| 9 |
state) and related code to bashline.c/h. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Maybe I should just forget the patch and make a separate package. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2) This may have something to do with the following condition: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
if [ -z "`use build`" ] |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This is from Daniels Bash 2.04 ebuild. In make.conf, it says not to set |
| 18 |
the 'build' USE flag and it looks like this flag is used to build the |
| 19 |
docs in this particular ebuild. So, can't answer this very well. Any help? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
You're right that bash does have example completion code and |
| 22 |
bash_completion is based on this. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
3) Again, this was the homepage defined in the previous ebuild. I did |
| 25 |
check out the site you mentioned and it does seem to be the homepage. It |
| 26 |
does say though, that it is a GNU project so I'm inclined to leave it as |
| 27 |
is for now. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Finale) Yes, I've made a decision: I'm going to make a separate package |
| 30 |
without the service completion patch. This seems to be the simple and |
| 31 |
straight forward approach for now. |
