Comment 6 for bug 560030

Jelmer is aware of the planned removal of the old scripts for Debian, and abadger1999 aka. Toshio for Fedora.
Toshio suggested I include links to bzr-bash-completion here: https://launchpad.net/bzr-bash-completion (branches, bugs, ...) and http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bzr-bash-completion (documentation)

Toshio isn't happy about yet another bzr plugin package, though, and would much prefer seeing it in core:
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/04/20/%23bzr.html#t14:36
Jelmer stated a while ago that in his opinion, a completion script should be shipped with either bzr or bash:
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/04/10/%23bzr.html#t16:51
And Mark Lee, the maintainer of the Gentoo overlay for bzr-related stuff, would like to see it in core as well:
https://code.launchpad.net/~gagern/bzr-gentoo-overlay/bzr-bash-completion/+merge/21372

So it seems that packagers in general would like to see the plugin included in the bzr source tree, i.e. option 2. Toshio argues that this would also make bzr look better in a direct core feature comparison with various other VCSs. If core developers decide they want the plugin, I'd be happy to provide a merge request for option 2 as well.
