R SIG Debian - Jan 2012 - Command completion of the R binary / Ubuntu

Dear Deepayan and dear list,

I notice a small inconsistency with the command completion of the R CMD
check. --no-latex is deprecated sincs R 2.12.0 and defunct since 2.13.0
but the command line completion still suggests it:

cb at cbdesktop:~/r-devel$ bin/R CMD check --no-<here I hit tab>
--no-clean      --no-examples   --no-latex      --no-vignettes
--no-codoc      --no-install    --no-tests
cb at cbdesktop:~/r-devel$ bin/R CMD check --no-latex
Fehler: '--no-latex' is defunct: use '--no-manual' instead

I gather the command line options could be updated to current R CMD
check in file /etc/bash_completion.d/R:

cb at cbdesktop:~/tmp$ diff R /etc/bash_completion.d/R
244,247c244,245
< 		    --no-install --no-tests --no-vignettes --no-manual \
<           --no-rebuild-vignettes --install-args  --check-subdirs \
<           --extra-arch --multiarch --no-multiarch --force-multiarch \
< 		    --timings  --use-gct --use-valgrind --rcfile"
---
> 		    --no-install --no-tests --no-vignettes --no-latex \
> 		    --use-gct --use-valgrind --rcfile"
I gather from the mailing list archives, that the original is available at
http://code.google.com/p/rcompletion/source/browse/trunk/bash_completion/R

Should I suggest the patch there? Will changes propagate to the packaged
linux distributions from there or should the updated file be brought to
the attention somewhere else?

Best regards,

Claudia

Thanks for the patch.

I believe only Debian/Ubuntu package it (and this would have been more
appropriate for r-sig-debian). I'll coordinate with Dirk et al to
update the relevant files.

-Deepayan

Dear list,

for the benefit of people searching for this in the future (and as
r-devel archives are searched by RSiteSearch, but r-sig-debian isn't):

- command line completion of the R command doesn't have anything to do
with R
- Deepayan told me that as far as he knows, only Debian (and Ubuntu)
have it, so

R-sig-debian

is the appropriate mailing list. Deepayan moved the discussion there.
Thanks.

Have a nice day,

Claudia

The bash completion script is also used by the Homebrew package manager on
OS X.
