Bash-completion is written with FHS in mind where completion scripts all get added to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions and are picked up by the dynamic completion loader from there---whether they are part of bash-completion or installed by another package. On Guix systems, we want not only to search within bash-completion's own directory, but also in the user's profile and in the system profile. This is what this patch does. --- a/bash_completiong 2016-08-03 10:23:02.356782287 +0200 +++ b/bash_completion 2016-08-03 10:27:50.120140403 +0200 @@ -1960,7 +1960,13 @@ __load_completion() { - local -a dirs=( ${BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/bash-completion}/completions ) + local -a dirs=( + "$HOME/.guix-profile/share/bash-completion/completions/$base" + "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/bash_completion.d/$base" + "/run/current-system/profile/share/bash-completion/completions/$base" + "/run/current-system/profile/etc/bash_completion.d/$base" + ${BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/bash-completion}/completions ) + local OIFS=$IFS IFS=: dir cmd="$1" compfile for dir in ${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share:/usr/share}; do dirs+=( $dir/bash-completion/completions )
