Dear Kirk, Thank you for maintaining the bash completion port for FreeBSD. I just wanted to report that textproc/gsed is required by bash-completion. If you look at the bash_completion script, you will notice that line: $ grep gsed /usr/local/etc/bash_completion [ $UNAME != Linux ] && have gsed && alias sed=gsed Because Bash Completion is maintained on a Linux platform, the sed invocations fail completely on FreeBSD. Thus an alias to gsed is setup on non-Linux platforms. This is a bug report that I submitted to Ian M. in June 2002: ---------------------------- revision 1.360 date: 2002/06/17 16:38:37; author: ianmacd; state: Exp; lines: +5 -1 - check for non-Linux and presence of gsed (GNU sed). If it's there, alias it to sed. ---------------------------- So to sum up, bash completion is only useful if gsed is installed. Best regards, -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/
