A new release of bash-completion, 1.3-1, will soon be on a mirror near you, leaving 1.2-1 as previous. NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release. Changes since the prior release are attached. For more details, see /usr/share/doc/bash-completion/. Note that installing this package automatically loads bash-completion into memory when you start bash interactively; this can be a time-consuming process, especially on Windows. Patches are welcom to help upstream bash-completion reach the goal of relying more on on-demand completions, rather than the current approach of loading all completions up front. If the increased usability of the shell is not worth the extra startup time for interactive shells, then consider uninstalling this package. DESCRIPTION: ============ bash-completion provides programmable completion enhancements to bash TAB-completion. Based on the command you type, hitting TAB later on in the command line will perform completions on strings that make sense for the context of the command, rather than blindly completing on filenames.
