As of bash-completion-2.1-r1 it appears the eselect module is gone and
the use of /etc/bash-completion.d is dead. Does this mean that all

could turn each individual one on/off either globally or per user.
Anyone know what the new 'one true way' is here?
As others pointed out, you now need to:
source /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
in your ~/.bashrc. However, you also need to clean out anything in
/etc/bash_completion.d/ and then:
ln -s /usr/share/bash-completion/gentoo /etc/bash_completion.d/
Otherwise, completion for Gentoo stuff (like "emerge") will not be
available.
Although I have a number of files and one subdirectory in
/usr/share/bash-completion, I have neither
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
/usr/share/bash-completion/gentoo
Presumably I have forgotten to turn something on; would you know what?
You probably forgot to re-emerge all packages that provide bash
completion files:
emerge -av1 \$(qfile -q -S -C /usr/share/bash-completion)
This is actually printed by app-shells/bash-completion when emerging it.
If you don't do that, all the completion files are in the wrong
directory. And yes, it will probably re-emerge *a lot* of packages, so
you might want to do that while you're AFK.
