Description of problem: The upstream name for the ninja build system build command is "ninja". In Fedora this has been renamed to "ninja-build" because of a naming clash with another package. However the back completion script has not been altered in the Fedora package to account for the new name and so does not complete correctly. Instead of completing ninja targets in the appropriate place it just completes using the fallback _minimal completer and only selects present files. This is annoying. I am indifferent to the name of the executable (Bug 1166135), but I can see no reason why the completion shouldn't work whatever the command name. It should be straightforward to parameterise the completion script and have a slightly different version in the Fedora package. Workaround: You can work around the problem by making "ninja" a shell alias to "ninja-build". However this is not a very robust solution, and it requires always using "ninja" to call the executable even though by now ninja-build is what I'm used to!
This applies to the package ninja-build-1.6.0-3.fc24 I can see the issue is fixed in 1.7.1, perhaps that could be released on f24.
