Nope, not afaik. The point of usr/share/bash-completion/completions is, that those are loaded on demand. That's why they need to be named after the calling executable. > Am Donnerstag, den 28.05.2015, 19:17 +0200 schrieb Michael Biebl: >> Looking into this more, I'm not convinced bash_completion is the right >> answer here.

If I copy a simple script to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions which does nothing but "echo foo", I don't get "foo" for interactive shells. If you copy that script to /etc/bash_completion.d/, it is automatically sourced. >> I actually think, the best way to address this, if we want to address >> it, is to revert the upstream change for now and don't require every >> user to change their config until we have found a better solution. > > What upstream change do you actually mean? Re-adding reading /proc to detemine the cwd. I see martin has actually written a nice patch for this, adding it as a fallback. So users can chose to source vte.sh in there .bashrc, if they prefer, then this code wouldn't be used. Otherwise we fallback to the old method. Looks like a good compromise to me. Much better then misusing the bash-completion mechanism.
