bash completion for RubyGems

[chastell]

Binary package hint: bash

Please consider adding bash completion for RubyGems (the gem command): http://schuerig.de/michael/blog/index.php/2007/02/24/gem-bash-completion/

Attaching the completion file for convenience.

Thanks for the patch.

In order to have this accepted, the patch needs to be filed against the package that provides the gem command, not bash itself. Which Ubuntu package provides the 'gem' command?

[chastell (chastell)]

Ah, my bad. I was tricked by the bash package providing completion rules for Subversion. :) Reassigning to libgems-ruby

[Chris Rose (chris-vault5)]

Thanks.

[chastell (chastell)]

Reassigning to the ‘motu’ user, as libgems-ruby is maintained by ‘Ubuntu MOTU Developers’.

debdiff attached that applies this patch to the 0.9.4 version in Gutsy.

[Barry deFreese (bddebian)]

The patch applies and builds fine. However I am not familiar with the package to know that everything works as it should. Can you verify that it works as it should?

Thanks!

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

How can we confirm that the completion works now?

[chastell (chastell)]

I rebuilt libgems-ruby 0.9.4-1 with the above debdiff patch on my Feisty box and the completion for the gem command is right there; hope this is a valid use-case. :)

Thanks a lot!

Actually this probably should be done in the rubygems package not the libgems-ruby since it provides gems. Ill get this into it sometime today

[Neil Wilson (neil-aldur)]

Err, that's what the debdiff does.

the libgems-ruby package is the source package which builds the libgems-ruby1.8 and rubygems binary packages. If you look in 'rubygems.install' you'll see the bash completion sat there next to the good old gem command.

Let's get this in before the cut off point.

Completion works fine here.

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

ok done.

It has been successfully built, let's mark it as Fix Released.
