samba - May 2015 - Bash-Completion for samba-tool

Hey list,

arriving home from SambaXP, it was really nice. That darth vader cake was
super sweet :-)

Hearing some people talking about how much they'd like bash completion
for `samba-tool`, I've put together an ugly script that does that.

It's a very dumb script (I'm boldly calling it script), but it might
make
someones day a little bit easier.

https://gist.github.com/ls42/0dca178759e42c04e685

It does complete commands and subcommands of two levels, e.g.

- samba-tool domain provision
- samba-tool group addmember

and so on can be completed. It also completes subcommands that are not
valid (like samba-tool gpo addmember), since I just added a bunch of text
to bash's `complete`.

On Debian it can be saved under `/etc/bash_completion.d/` (does exist at
least since jessie). A log-out/-in might be required. Or just source it.

Thank you. This is very useful.

Can you work with upstream distros to get it in ?

Should it be part of the samba package or from the bash packagE ?

bash completions are typically part of the package or at least should be 
whenever it is possible

some are parts of "bash-completion" package itself but that don't
scale
and is not maintainable because it should match the installed version of 
the software and you can't update "bash-completion" everytime a
random
package adds or fixes something it that context

[harry at srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -q --file 
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/svnlook
subversion-1.8.11-1.fc21.x86_64

[harry at srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -q --file 
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/yum
yum-3.4.3-153.fc21.noarch
