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 guix home profile, as well as in the system profile. This is what this patch does. --- a/bash_completion +++ b/bash_completion @@ -2173,7 +2173,15 @@ complete -F _minimal '' __load_completion() { - local -a dirs=(${BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/bash-completion}/completions) + local -a dirs=( + ${BASH_COMPLETION_USER_DIR:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/bash-completion}/completions + "$HOME/.guix-profile/share/bash-completion/completions" + "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/bash_completion.d" + "$HOME/.guix-home/profile/share/bash-completion/completions" + "$HOME/.guix-home/profile/etc/bash_completion.d" + "/run/current-system/profile/share/bash-completion/completions" + "/run/current-system/profile/etc/bash_completion.d" ) + local ifs=$IFS IFS=: dir cmd="${1##*/}" compfile [[ -n $cmd ]] || return 1 for dir in ${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share:/usr/share}; do dirs+=( $dir/bash-completion/completions )
