-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A new release of bash-completion, 1.0-1, is now available for those testing cygwin 1.7, leaving 20060301-2 as the current version for cygwin 1.5.
NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release, run by new upstream maintainers. For more details, including how to enable bash-completion for your interactive shells after installing this package, see /usr/share/doc/bash-completion/. DESCRIPTION: ============ bash-completion provides programmable completion enhancements to bash TAB-completion. Based on the command you type, hitting TAB later on in the command line will perform completions on strings that make sense for the context of the command, rather than blindly completing on filenames. NOTE: ===== You MUST edit your bash startup files to load bash-completion into memory: make sure ~/.bashrc sources /etc/bash_completion, and ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc. See /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc (after installing base-files-3.7-1) for an example. Bash completions is not enabled by default because it adds some noticeable startup delay to every interactive shell (about 1.5 seconds on my 2.5 GHz WinXP). Depending on the reaction on the cygwin mailing list, a future release may make bash_completion turned on by default for every bash user, with no edits to ~/.bashrc required. UPDATE: ======= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'bash-completion' from the 'Shells' category. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin bash-completion maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
