Bug Description

Binary package hint: upstart

Please add bash completion to the upstart package.

There's some good working script at http://<email address hidden>/msg00174.html already, which is far better than nothing already.

It should get checked if initctl works fast/good enough now already.

Based on http://<email address hidden>/msg00174.html

Gotchas:
 - does not handle arguments, e.g. to network-interface
 - I guess grepping for "instance" is obsolete?

Also does not handle jobs with whitespace in their name (if those are valid after all).
Instead of "ls" for _jobs() it should probably use "initctl list", too - which then keeps track of what is valid and what is not.

Based on the contents of the bash-completion package, this should be shipped there, not in the Upstart package

I'm targeting this for Lucid: with upstart being pushed it should get some auto-completion.

Are there any plans when this will be published to Ubuntu's apt repository?

Hi Daniel, thanks so much for this contribution!

I don't know if there's still time to include it for oneiric but I've uploaded the patch in case there is; otherwise it should go in for pugnacious penguin.

upstart has already been shipping a bash-completion snippet of its own for a while; and this patch seems to not have had any effect on the bash-completion binary package (no 'upstart' file is included). I think this patch should be backed out again...

---------------
bash-completion (1:1.3-1ubuntu6) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Drop patch 100_upstart.patch. upstart maintains its own completion
    script (despite word to the opposite in comment #4).
