Description Pierre Jarillon 2013-02-10 21:57:04 CET

Description of problem:

systemcltl is not easy to use without bash-completion.
For example:
# /etc/init.d/nt<tab>
was giving the names of all services beginning with nt

Now, to have
# systemctl status nt<tab>
ntpdate.service  ntpd.service

it is necessary to have bash-completion installed.
This feature must be documented and widely spread toward users

Source RPM: (none) => meta-task

Comment 1 Anne Nicolas 2013-02-11 20:15:30 CET

Sorry this cannot be release critical

Priority: release_blocker => High

Comment 2 claire robinson 2013-02-11 20:59:28 CET

Isn't release_blocker for things which can't be corrected by an update?

Comment 3 Anne Nicolas 2013-02-11 21:03:52 CET

Well not having bash_completion installed by default is not blocking. Do we want this really by default? (This is just a question)

Comment 4 claire robinson 2013-02-11 21:30:30 CET

It's certainly useful to have with systemd services. 
I think it's something people expect to be able to use.

It's relatively trivial to add IIUC.

Is there a reason not to? (also just a question)

Comment 5 Anne Nicolas 2013-02-11 21:32:47 CET

Did I say that? It's not about that but rather what is a release critical bug. If everyone add release critical bugs to have more packages on iso it will just become non manageable

Comment 6 claire robinson 2013-02-11 21:39:50 CET

I didn't intend to anger you, was really just asking the question.



It's your call :)

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2013-11-30 12:21:05 CET

Fixed in bash: it now suggests bash-completion

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Source RPM: meta-task => bash

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2013-12-05 23:16:30 CET

Note that this imply adding python to minimal install (when using suggests) as bash-completion has a require on 'python(abi)'
