[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#509584: please enable bash-completion generation

[David Paleino]

Source: dbus-glib
Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: minor

Hello,
as part of a cross-distribution effort to improve bash-completion, a Gentoo
developer (CCed) found out that dbus' upstream is providing its own
bash-completion, passing --enable-bash-completion to ./configure.

The problem is, they're using their own completion mechanism, so it's not
possible to use it within the wider bash-completion. They're in fact providing
a ./dbus/dbus-bash-completion.sh.in, which would easily go
into /etc/bash_completion.d/, but then they use
@libexecdir@/dbus-bash-completion-helper to do the completions generation.

We're working on trying to patch configure so as to provide a
--with-bash-completion-dir= switch (dbus-bash-completion.sh is installed
in /etc/profile.d/ by default), but a quicker (and hackier) solution is to
manually move the file into /etc/bash_completion.d/

Kindly,
David
