It's been a while since the last time I had to use rc-update and today I was surprised that the bash completion on update-rc did not work.

I came across this post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1 ... ed9af063e2 where you can see that there are these files in the gentoo-bashcomp package:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/rc
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/rc-service
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/rc-status
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/rc-update

If I execute equery f gentoo-bashcomp, I cannot see them in the list. After a couple of google searches with similar keywords, I found this commit: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/gentoo-b ... &context=9

Remove OpenRC completions since they are provided upstream

A equery files app-shells/bash-completion nor equery files sys-apps/openrc doesn't show me any of these files, so which package is "upstream"?

So where are these bash compile files?

In next version of openrc (>=0.35.5) the files are included

Code: Select all

$ ls /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/openrc-0.35.5/work/openrc-0.35.5/bash-completion/
Makefile  openrc  openrc-service-script  rc-service  rc-status  rc-update

Or just pull them out of the 2014 tar file and put them in the completions directory, until they get their act together.

Edit to add: Although truth to tell, I don't think I ever used bash completions for any rc* related stuff.

I did something like that. I've went to the parent commit, download the repo as tar.gz and extracted the files from there.

really? At least with my configuration, portage does not put services directly in the default runlevel, I always have to execute rc-update myself.
