Problem with Bash Completion

[fctk]

Hello,

I have a little problem with bash completion.

It works pretty well except for one thing; if I enable some "module" with one of the two following commands:

Code: Select all

eselect bashcomp enable gentoo

Code: Select all

bash-completion-config --install gentoo

and then I issue:

Code: Select all

source ~/.bashrc

changes takes effect immediately, but if I disable some "module" instead, with one of the two following commands:

Code: Select all

eselect bashcomp disable gentoo

Code: Select all

bash-completion-config --uninstall gentoo

and then I issue:

Code: Select all

source ~/.bashrc

changes doesn't take effect, and I have to logout and login again.

Is there a better command for changes to take effect immediately or perhaps it is a bug?

Some details:

app-shells/bash-3.1_p16
app-shells/bash-completion-20060301
app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp-20050516
app-admin/eselect-1.0
app-shells/bash-completion-config-0.8-r2

This is ~/.bashrc:

Code: Select all

[[ -f /etc/profile.d/bash-completion ]] && source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion

[[ -f /etc/bashrc ]] && source /etc/bashrc

alias halt='shutdown -h now'
alias reboot='shutdown -r now'

alias eprogress='watch -n 5 --no-title eprogress'
alias esync='emerge --sync && gensync bmg-main && gensync gentoo-de && zugaina-w

alias emake='nano -w /etc/make.conf'
alias eworld='nano -w /var/lib/portage/world'
alias exorg='nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
alias egrub='nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf'
alias emodules='nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6'

alias mkernel='make && make modules_install'

This is /etc/bashrc:

Code: Select all

alias rm='rm -i'
alias du='du -sh'
alias man='man -P /usr/bin/most'
alias formatfloppy='fdformat /dev/floppy/0 && mkfs.msdos -v /dev/floppy/0'
alias beep='beep -l 2000'
alias pingtest='ping -a -c 5 www.google.it'
alias ls='ls --color=tty'

extract() {
  if [ -f "$1" ] ; then
    case "$1" in
      *.tar.bz2) tar xjf "$1"                               ;;
      *.tbz2)    tar xjf "$1"                               ;;
      *.tar.gz)  tar xzf "$1"                               ;;
      *.tgz)     tar xzf "$1"                               ;;
      *.tar)     tar xf "$1"                                ;;
      *.bz2)     bunzip2 "$1"                               ;;
      *.gz)      gunzip "$1"                                ;;
      *.rar)     rar x "$1"                                 ;;
      *.zip)     unzip "$1"                                 ;;
      *.tar.7z)  7za x -so "$1" | tar xf -                  ;;
      *.7z)      7za x "$1"                                 ;;
      *.ace)     unace x "$1"                               ;;
      *)         echo "$1 cannot be extracted via extract"  ;;
    esac
  else
    echo "$1 is not a regular file"
  fi
}

Thanks.

Juest a wild guess: Installing functions probably means defining them in some file that is read when .bashrc is sourced. Removing them means removing them from that file. Therefore they are available when you source .bashrc after "installing" them. To get rid of them however, you'd have to remove the corresponding lines *and* unset the functions. I don't know if that's possible, and if it is, whether the added complexity is really needed.

Edit: Btw the interesting functions are in the first lines of ~/.bashrc, i.e. the contents of that file/dir listed there.
