=== Rationale ===
Bash-Completion is currently installed into different paths for each single GNU/Linux distribution. This way, it's not easy for maintainers to "interface" with other distributions' people, so a proposal has been raised to improve the directory layout of Bash-Completion scripts.

=== Use cases ===
 * Enable modules system-wide and per-user.
 * Disable modules that have been set system-wide, per-user.
 * Disable slow parts of completions (globally, and per-command).

Proposal: ''New Directory Layout''

General Information

Rationale

Bash-Completion is currently installed into different paths for each single GNU/Linux distribution. This way, it's not easy for maintainers to "interface" with other distributions' people, so a proposal has been raised to improve the directory layout of Bash-Completion scripts.

Use cases

  • Enable modules system-wide and per-user.
  • Disable modules that have been set system-wide, per-user.
  • Disable slow parts of completions (globally, and per-command).

  • Debian / Ubuntu
    • /etc/bash_completion
    • /etc/bash_completion.d/
  • Fedora / Red Hat
    • /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh (loads /etc/bash_completion)
    • /etc/bash_completion
    • /etc/bash_completion.d/ (loaded by vanilla /etc/bash_completion)
    • ~/.bash_completion (loaded by vanilla /etc/bash_completion)
  • Gentoo
    • /etc/profile.d/bash-completion.sh
    • /etc/bash_completion.d/ (enabled modules symlinked here)
    • ~/.bash_completion.d/ (user enabled modules symlinked here)
    • /usr/share/bash-completion/ (modules go here)
    • /usr/share/bash-completion/base (base module, splited out)
