No, thanks :) The problem is not the hook (this is really distro-specific), but not diverging from upstream. > It would be great to see this in Debian, as can confirm, having been pointed > to it by Francis earlier today, that it does indeed give a significant > speedup, and removes an annoying delay with opening a new terminal window or > tab. We (upstream) are planning dynamic completion for bash-completion 3.0 [0]. I think this will be done mainly by Freddy Vulto (upstream of bash-completion-lib), and, AFAICS, it's a different approach from the one proposed in this bugreport. However, I'm CCing Freddy to hear his opinion -- he surely has a deeper insight on the issue than me. Kindly, David [0]: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/BashCompletion/Proposals/Roadmap -- . ''`.
