Package: bash
Version: 4.2+dfsg-0.1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
By default, bash ships with bash_completion
disabled in /etc/bash.bashrc,
enabled in /etc/skel/.bashrc
If, when, an administrator decides to uncomment (enable) bash_completion in
bash.bashrc,
the script runs twice for users with unmodified .bashrc.
If a test is added to /etc/skel/.bashrc, like so:
if [ ! $BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR ]; then
#... whole of bash_completion code
fi
The script doesn't run twice.
$ time [ ! $BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR ] && . /etc/bash_completion
real 0m0.000s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
$ time . /etc/bash_completion
real 0m0.187s
user 0m0.092s
sys 0m0.024s
It's a sane proposed default.
