Yes, you're right. So that changes my original question to: Can/should we have a file for compctl recipes, and then a directory containing the files for the stuff made with the new system? Oh, and to the people who wrote me privately, pointing out that compctl is strongly deprecated in favor of the new system, that it sucks, etc etc...yes, I know this, I wasn't suggesting we advocate using it. All I meant was that if a recipe exists for compctl and hasn't been ported to the new system yet, we should still include it unless using both systems at once is impossible and/or a huge resource hit. So now that I'm up to speed on what's going on with the two completion systems, my next project is to inspect the "onboard" completion directories to see how many of my current compctl recipes are duplicated there. I should be able to have a starting point soon... --=20 john@io.com --W/nzBZO5zC0uMSeA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8rBW8WH8M1wI2iFcRAgd+AJ4yEZwuw/x3lAU8MTFiRAe8tum1kwCbBotP +1NlniiZFJFnzRZp44MYNy8= =KEDx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --W/nzBZO5zC0uMSeA--
