16 Would like to ask for action about how to finally handle bash-completion
17 on Gentoo. Looks like we are using a different approach as upstream to
18 handle completions now, there was a try (one year ago) to try to switch
19 to upstream style but seems that the revision implementing that was
20 later dropped due some arguments.
21
22 Currently, we are blocked with old stable version as testing one neither
23 works:
24
25 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472938 -> It explains the
26 upstream way of handling completions. The version that implemented it
27 was 2.1-r1, it was later removed by Samuli (that did most of the work)
28 as looks like others complained.
29
30 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486306 -> this shows how current
31 2.1 version is the tree has some problems blocking its stabilization
32 until a decision is made finally
