Bash completion needed for versioned juju commands

[Martin Packman]

The new juju packaging in xenial includes 'juju-1' and 'juju-2.0' commands that are currently not covered by the bash-completion script.

This means no completion for 1.X is available at all at present, and is otherwise confusing when needing to use the specific version commands.

There's a pending pull request for other 2.0 improvements to the bash completion script here:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

See updated https://github.com/juju/juju/pull/5057, in short
it adds below two files to /etc/bash_completion.d/
(sort == load order) ->

juju-2.0 (added)
juju-core (existing from juju1)
juju-version (added)

, so that:

* juju-2.0: completion for `juju-2.0`
, but also plain `juju` (ie self-contained)
* juju-core: overwrites completion for `juju`
* juju-version: overwrites completion for `juju`
, with runtime logic to use v1 xor v2.

I have the same problem:

I followed the workaround in https://github.com/juju/juju/pull/5057/files and copied the file juju-2.0 from that URL in my /etc/bash_completion.d/ directory and now it works:

$ juju st <I press tab here to autocomplete>
