I suggested linux-manpages a while back, as it comes from the same source as posix-manpages, and I install it myself, but did not get voted to package, due to duplication with conflicting priorities and no easy way to resolve under existing paths.
Huh... they go to /usr/local by default (easily changeable with `make prefix=...`), which is pretty bare to begin with and with the fact that they don't package hardly anything in man1, the conflict potential goes down even further. Ah well, I guess I just keep making it manually from a cloned repo.
I could probably look at bash-completion if I can get around to bash, as I would worry about dependencies, fixes, and tweaks. There are big challenges in bash and coreutils being years out of date as parts of those need customized for Cygwin, and the customization patches are likely to have issues, or even need redesign, if there have been major changes.
bash-completion is a separate/disconnected project (now located at https://github.com/scop/bash-completion), it doesn't align its releases with bash itself. bash-completion 2.7-2.10 require bash 4.1+, 2.11 bumped that to 4.2. Since we're at 4.4, I don't think that's a showstopper (BICBW).
And thanks again for the findutils update. 4.7 gave us comma-delimited -type/-xtype specs, so a "( -type p -o -type s )" (shown non-quoted for sanity's sake) becomes "-type p,s". :thumbsup:
