Well, although I don't really understand why you are reluctant to *require* the extra dependency, it is better than nothing. However, it is preventing a bit more bash completion to gain popularity... Most users won't care about that WITH_GSED switch, and most completions just won't work. Maybe you have good reasons to do so that I don't know. Anyway, I hope the completions I wrote for FreeBSD-specific programs like portinstall, kldload and so on are compatible with BSD sed at least ;-) Best regards, --=20 Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/ --RhUH2Ysw6aD5utA4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAM4+c9xx3BCMc9gsRAmcVAKCDmMAmqB0jX0BTUsyotfF4WjPpYgCgi2Gq ywZChKKgo28Y3P9n878yX8U= =soU2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --RhUH2Ysw6aD5utA4--
