Description

Thanks for the report, but this is not a problem with rm. rm is required to
honor such trailing slashes. POSIX requires it to treat "rm symlink-to-dir/"
just like "rm symlink-to-dir/."
That said, there may be a way to make bash do completion the way you'd like.
However, I switched from bash to zsh a few years ago in part because it handles
that sort of completion in a more intuitive fashion.
For example, using zsh,
$ mkdir dir && ln -s dir long-symlink-name
$ rm long-s<tab>
rm long-symlink-name/
But on the line above, the last thing I typed was TAB. If I now type SPACE or
ENTER, zsh removes the trailing "/" it added before invoking the command.
However, if I type "/", the displayed line remains unchanged, but zsh will not
remove the trailing slash.
(In reply to comment #1) I'm not posix master so I didn't know that posix requires this. So let check feedback on bash side... -A- The 'complete' builtin can do this if you like; perhaps it's something for the bash-completions package to consider. Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp |
