Package: bash Version: 3.1-4 Severity: normal I believe xargs completion shouldn't be done through merely _longopt -- it should be using the _command meta-command completion (at least instead of _longopt -- but perhaps could be made to use both of them), since you can supply programs with quite complicated sets of flags before the list of filenames that xargs additionally tacks on the end.
Most commandline invocations of xargs aren't done using any of the xargs flags (well, until the user finds problems with their xargs invocation), and thus we find the user will be wanting the meta-command completion more often than the longopt completions. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.1 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 3.1.16 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand bash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
