Red Hat does not currently plan to provide any further changes to this collection in a Red Hat Software Collections update release. This software collection is nearing the retirement date (October 2016) after which customers are encouraged either to upgrade to a later release or continue on as self-supported without official Red Hat Support. Please contact Red Hat Support if you have further questions, or refer to the support lifecycle page for more information. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl/ Switch to rh-git29. This is still actual in new collection. Red Hat does not currently plan to provide any further changes to this collection in a Red Hat Software Collections update release. This software collection is nearing the retirement date (November 2018) after which customers are encouraged to upgrade to a later release. Please contact Red Hat Support if you have further questions, or refer to the support lifecycle page for more information. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl/ Is bash-completion enabled in the running terminal? I've tried to reproduce this with rh-git29. Reproduced by: $ git --h<TAB><TAB> *nothing* $ grep --<TAB><TAB> *nothing* Resolved by: # yum install bash-completion $ . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion $ git --h<TAB><TAB> --help --html-path Well, technically, it is not possible to only change the bash completion script path to /etc/bash_completion.d/ and have a properly prefixed file there, like /etc/bash_completion.d/rh-git29-git, even though it would be tempting. That way, the bash completion would work even when the collection would not be enabled, which is not anything we want; the bash completion for an scl-ized package should be enabled only when the scl is enabled. That brings me to the idea how this could be implemented -- simply source the git's bash-completion script (which must include all changes required for the scl package) at the end of the enable scriptlet, like this: rpm -q bash-completion >/dev/null && source /etc/opt/rh/rh-git29/bash-completion/git However, there is another problem -- newer versions of scl-utils also support changing the environment via environment modules, and this behaviour with some complex code run during enable script execution would be hard to mitigate using that mechanism, since environment modules are only meant to change the environment, not executing a code. Also, since I'm not aware of any other requests for making this to work, and this request is pretty old, I don't think this request is that much important for users. Based on those thoughts, I'm actually rather closing this bug as WONTFIX, since it does not seem to be important enough at this point. Feel free to re-open and provide a good justification if it actually is important. |
